I could only be myself with you around 00:15
Oh, with you around 00:21
But now there's nothing left for me to think about 00:29
Whoa, to think about 00:36
And it hurts like hell to be torn apart 00:44
And it hurts like hell to be thrown around 00:51
We were born to be together 01:00
Torn apart, torn apart 01:03
We were born to be together 01:07
Torn apart, torn apart 01:11
You stamped with a heavy tread and left your mark 01:15
Oh, your mark on me 01:22
The space you used to fill is now this great black hole 01:30
Oh, you're out of sight but not out of my mind 01:37

[English]

I could only be myself with you around
Oh, with you around
But now there's nothing left for me to think about
Whoa, to think about
And it hurts like hell to be torn apart
And it hurts like hell to be thrown around
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart
You stamped with a heavy tread and left your mark
Oh, your mark on me
The space you used to fill is now this great black hole
Oh, you're out of sight but not out of my mind
And it hurts like hell to be torn apart
And it hurts like hell to be thrown around
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart

We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart
