[English]

The last thing I recall was a question in my head

Some things we said don't make any sense

I can make myself real small, pretend I'm somewhere else

Leave you for a moment, but there's no escape from myself

I wake up with sunlight in my eyes

And finally as the sleep clears from my mind

And once again I realize

You still got nothing left to say, except fall back on "I love you"

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

There's too much water on the flames

You can't break into what remains

Oh darling, walk away

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

You love me, that don't make it true

Because I've never seen a proof

And we should walk away (just walk away)

And we should walk away (just walk away)

I can ask you, "How's your day?"

I can sit with practiced warmth

Then we'll lie down again in this bed of thorns

And we cross paths like ghosts in the hallway

This beauty that I don't see the beauty in before me

An example of a flower that's faded

We're crazy to use phrases like, "I love you"

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

There's too much water on the flames

You can't break into what remains

Oh darling, walk away

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

You love me, that don't make it true

Because I've never seen a proof

And we should walk away (just walk away)

Walk away

And we should walk away (just walk away)

(You love me, that don't make it true, walk away)

(You love me) and we should walk away (just walk away)
