[English]

Yeah

LOVE damn 4 letters

You sugar-coat it with LOVE every time

Selfish, I will never be enough

Even when I pour out all of myself oh

Endless War

Again, Endlessly More

(You never miss your shot)

Piercing words

Like bullets they are

(But I won’t surrender my darling)

I don’t give a damn about you

When you say

I don’t a give a damn about you

It’s pain

As long as you love me

The good or the ugly

Everything is ok

It’s like you control me

Without you I’m lonely

But you feel different

Your words are like a gun shot

I’m bleeding love

They hit me like a gun shot

I’m bleeding love

You hit me like a

You hit me like a yeah

I’m feeling like I’m in desolation

Break it the damage that closed my eyes

So far you've concealed the true color

Now break off your chains

(Even if I’m naked)

In your all tricks

Ankle grabbing trap

Need to drag myself out of there

Remove you from my life

Take off the tag called you yeah

Woah answer when I’m calling

Without you dying slowly

The words you spit out kill me like bullets

Not me but that Trigger trigger

wrap around and pull it

As long as you love me

The good or the ugly

Anything is ok

It’s like you control me

Without you I’m lonely

But you are not

Your words are like a gun shot

I’m bleeding love

They hit me like a gun shot

I’m bleeding love

Baby this love

I’m bleeding

For you

Oh no

No love

Stay away

For me

No more oh

One shot two shot three shot four

I can't stand it anymore for my own sake

Your gun

Shot

I’m bleeding love

Your words are like a gun shot

I’m bleeding love

They hit me like a gun shot

I’ve bled enough
