[English]

Breathe you out, breathe you in

You keep coming back to tell me

You're the one who could have been

And my eyes see it all so clear

It was long ago and far away, but it never disappears

Try to put it in the past

Hold on to myself, and don't look back

I don't wanna dream about

All the things that never were

And maybe I can live without

When I'm out from under

I don't wanna feel the pain

What good would it do me now?

I'll get it all figured out

When I'm out from under

From under, from under

From under

So, let me go, just let me fly away

Let me feel the space between us growing deeper

And much darker every day

Watch me now, and I'll be someone new

My heart will be unbroken

It will open up for every one but you

Even when I cross the line

It's like a lie I've told a thousand times

I don't wanna dream about

All the things that never were

And maybe I can live without

When I'm out from under

I don't wanna feel the pain

What good would it do me now?

I'll get it all figured out

When I'm out from under

From under, from under

From under, from under

And part of me still believes

When you say you're gonna stick around

And part of me still believes

We can find a way to work it out

But I know that we tried everything we could try

So, let's just say goodbye, forever

I don't wanna dream about

All the things that never were

And maybe I can live without

When I'm out from under

I don't wanna feel the pain

What good would it do me now?

I'll get it all figured out

When I'm out from under

I don't wanna dream about

All the things that never were

And maybe I can live without

When I'm out from under

I don't wanna feel the pain

What good would it do me now?

I'll get it all figured out

When I'm out from under

From under, from under

From under, from under
