I don't really say this that often
00:17
But there's something that the papers forgot
00:21
Every time I read them, I know I feed them, but I know
00:27
They're painting, but they can't leave a mark
00:32
'Cause my friends don't read the papers
00:36
And they don't really care if we're awesome or not
00:43
So every time I read them, I know I feed them, but I know
00:48
They wanna see me hang on the wall
00:53
00:57
You don't know me
01:00
Don't you think that I get lonely?
01:01
It gets dark inside my head
01:04
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
01:06
If you're lonely
01:09
Don't you think you're on your own
01:11
When it gets dark inside your head
01:13
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
01:16
01:21
Say it to my face if you mean it
01:26
Say it to my face, but you won't
01:31
I know I'm not losin', but I'm losin' my mind
01:36
Does anybody know what that's like?
01:42
You don't know me
01:47
Don't you think that I get lonely?
01:49
It gets dark inside my head
01:51
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
01:54
If you're lonely
01:57
Don't you think you're on your own
01:59
When it gets dark inside your head
02:02
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
02:04
02:09
If I'm dead, you owe me
02:12
If I'm dead, you owe me
02:16
You owe me, you owe me
02:20
You owe me, you owe me
02:22
02:25
If I'm dead, you owe me
02:27
02:31
Yeah, if I'm dead, you owe me
02:39
(If I'm dead, if I'm dead, If I'm dead, you owe me)
02:48
You don't know me
02:52
Don't you think that I get lonely?
02:53
It gets dark inside my head
02:55
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
02:58
If you're lonely
03:02
Don't you think you're on your own
03:03
When it gets dark inside your head
03:06
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
03:08

[English]
I don't really say this that oftenBut there's something that the papers forgot
Every time I read them, I know I feed them, but I know
They're painting, but they can't leave a mark
'Cause my friends don't read the papers
And they don't really care if we're awesome or not
So every time I read them, I know I feed them, but I know
They wanna see me hang on the wall
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
Say it to my face if you mean it
Say it to my face, but you won't
I know I'm not losin', but I'm losin' my mind
Does anybody know what that's like?
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
If I'm dead, you owe me
If I'm dead, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
If I'm dead, you owe me
Yeah, if I'm dead, you owe me
(If I'm dead, if I'm dead, If I'm dead, you owe me)
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
