[English]

Loneliness settles in when the night falls (falls)

Said too much, tired of talkin' to these four walls (walls)

The thought of you makes me sick, makes my skin crawl (crawl)

I wish that I was where you are

Yeah, I'd love to be right where you are

The silence never seemed so loud (ah)

And I just can't escape the sound of my whole world crashin' down

And I'm still haunted by your voice

I wish that I was where you are

When the night falls, when the night falls, when the night falls

(It never gets better)

When the night falls, when the night falls, when my tears fall

(Can't hold it together)

It's way too dark inside my mind, I'm waiting for a glimpse of light

When the night falls, when the night falls, when the night falls

No, it never gets better

No, it never gets better

...

Loneliness settles in when the sun's gone (gone)

Night scrolling, wondering if you've moved on (moved on)

Just the thought makes me sick, makes me wanna throw up

(Makes me sick, makes me wanna throw up)

I wish I was back in your arms

Yeah, I'd love to be back in your arms

The silence never seemed so loud (ah)

And I just can't escape the sound of my whole world crashing down

And I'm still haunted by your voice

Yeah, I'd love to be back in your arms

When the night falls, when the night falls, when the night falls

(It never gets better)

When the night falls, when the night falls, when my tears fall

(Can't hold it together)

It's way too dark inside my mind, I'm waiting for a glimpse of light

When the night falls, when the night falls, when the night falls

No, it never gets better

...

No, it never gets better

No, it never gets better

No, it never gets better

...
