[English]

Crazy is what crazy does

I hear you talking 'bout the trouble that you never caused

I'm landin' on your jaw

Don't you run from me?

You'll get exactly what you think you deserve, let's go!

I'm throwin' blows, my punch is comin' from the shoulder

I'll let you hear the kiss, just move a little closer

I'm jumpin' off the edge, I'm rollin' like a coaster

I'll hang you on the wall and turn you into a poster

I've tried so many ways

To make you see the way I do

But you don't care

Don't you run from me?

You'll get exactly what you think you deserve

I'm not afraid of the flame

I've burned myself so many times, so I don't think I'll learn

(You can't run from me)

Rip your face off, let the punch in

Lost my sanity, I'm goin' off the deep end

I don't hold back, I just let go

Bring the chaos, I'm burnin' up the ammo

I'm throwin' blows, my punch is comin' from the shoulder

I'll let you hear the kiss, just move a little closer

I'm jumpin' off the edge, I'm rollin' like a coaster

I'll hang you on the wall and turn you into a poster

I've tried so many ways

To make you see the way I do

But you don't care

Don't you run from me?

You'll get exactly what you think you deserve

I'm not afraid of the flame

I've burned myself so many times, so I don't think I'll learn

Don't you run from me?

You'll get exactly what you think you deserve

Don't you run from me?

You'll get exactly what you think you deserve

I'm not afraid of the flame

I've burned myself so many times, so I don't think I'll learn

Run, run, run, run, run, run
