[English]

I don't really say this that often

But 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
