[English]
If I was to talk about the wordsThey would hurt, they would hurt
So if you were to ask about the pain
I would lie, I would lie
To fix my mind, I need time
But it's runnin' out, it's runnin' out
Oh, I know that I can't live without you
But this world will keep turning if you do
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?
We could catch a spaceship to the moon
But we'd crash, it wouldn't last
Because the world is just a figment of the fools
A blank stare, they don't care
So say your prayers, you're almost there
But it's runnin' out, it's runnin' out
Oh, I know that I can't live without you
But this world will keep turning if you do
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?
Oh, I don't know what I'll turn out to be
But you'll loathe every moment, believe me
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?
