[English]

Our room is dark, the blinds are shut tight

And everything is still too much outside

It may be over but not tonight

I may be older but I still cry

I can't stop sleeping in your clothes

You can't stop calling on the phone

Can't you see I'm in recovery?

...

Just let it be, I'm in recovery

...

I'm holding on, I know I'm almost there

So don't reach out and tell me that you care

I'm finally sober, I see the light

The worst is over, nobody died

...

I'm still trying to let you go

Oh baby, please, leave me alone

Can't you see I'm in recovery?

...

Just let it be, I'm in recovery

...

I know you wanna say you're sorry

But I don't wanna hear that story

I don't wanna be your fool anymore

Can't you see I'm in recovery?

...

Always thought you'd be the one

Who always needed me

My home, will be my home

Suddenly, your memory

And time is like an enemy, so cold

...

Can't you see I'm in recovery?

...

I know you wanna say you're sorry

But I already heard that story

And I don't wanna be your fool anymore

Can't you see I'm in recovery?

...
