[English]

You're hypnotized, can't see the signs I'd like to help you but I think it's too late

Made up your mind and now you're blind I guess it's easy even making mistakes

Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer

You want a fight, but I won't bite on the bait

And I'm not trying to change your eyes so don't panic

Cause I'm afraid

So don't tell me what I can't see Cause we both know it's you, not me

You don't want this but it's what you need

And you'll see it when you believe

And you'll see it when you believe

Give me a break cause I can't take

Another second, you're a fucking addict

I ain't got time to change your mind

How can I move you when you're stuck in your ways

Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer

You want a fight, but I don't bite on the bait

And I'm not trying to change your eyes so don't panic

I'm just saying, well I'm just saying

Don't come crawling back to me when you break down

Cause you dug yourself into this hole on by yourself

Don't come crawling back to me when you break down

You can find somebody else

So don't tell me what I can't see Cause we both know it's you, not me

You don't want this but it's what you need

And you'll see it when you believe

Don't tell me what I can't see

Cause we both know it's you, not me

You don't want this but it's what you need

And you'll see it when you believe

And you'll see it when you believe

You make me wanna slit my wrists and play in my own blood

You make me wanna kill myself just for the fucking fun

You make me wanna slit my wrists and play in my own blood

You make me wanna kill myself just for the fucking fun

So don't tell me what I can't see

Cause we both know it's you, not me

You don't want this but it's what you need

And you'll see it when you believe

And you'll see it when you believe
