[中文]

站在前面但保持沉默，直到我告诉你可以走

别假装什么都知道，因为你并不掌控一切

因为这是我的世界，小女孩，你自己会迷失方向

只是憎恨、等待和存着希望

...

如果你签字，我就帮你一把，帮你省点事

...

别担心你的漂亮脑袋，未来一切都没问题

不管你错还是对

都无所谓，你已经不是对手

低着头不抬头

因为他们不知道我现在知道的事

当帝国崩塌成碎片

我们的灰烬在空中扭曲

知道这些让我微笑

没有你，我变得更好

...

现在环顾四周，记住你的朋友们吧

把火烧得更旺，直到没人能怪罪，责任在你手中

陷在你的谎言中，用我们的生命付出代价，你已经疯了

而且没有出路

因为我们都知道你是空的

当帝国崩塌成碎片

我们的灰烬在空中扭曲

知道这些让我微笑

没有你，我变得更好

...

还不够，还不够

...

还不足以把一切都扔掉

我们还会继续坠落

我们已经倒下

调大声音，调大点

永远不会让我再闭嘴

你的时光已结束

一切都结束了

当帝国崩塌成碎片

我们的灰烬在空中扭曲

知道这些让我微笑

我，确实没有你会更好

...

[英语]

Stand in the front but shut up 'til I tell you to go

Don't get caught up in pretend 'cause you're not in control

'Cause this is my world, little girl, you'd be lost on your own

Just hating and waiting and saving up

I'll do you a favor and save you if you sign on the line

Don't worry your pretty little head about the future, it's all fine

Whether you're wrong or you're right

Doesn't matter, you're not up to the fight

Keeping my head down

'Cause they don't know what I know now

As empires fall to pieces

Our ashes twisting in the air

It makes me smile to know that

I'm better without you

Now look around and remember your friends if you can

Feeding the flames 'til there's no one to blame, it's on your hands

Lost in your lies, pay the price with our lives, you've gone mad

And there's no way out

'Cause we all know you're hollow

As empires fall to pieces

Our ashes twisting in the air

It makes me smile to know that

I'm better without you

Not enough, not enough

Not enough to throw it all away

We'd still be falling

We're fallen

Turn it up, turn it up

Never gonna shut me up again

Your time is over

It's over now

As empires fall to pieces

Our ashes twisting in the air

It makes me smile to know that

I'm, I'm better without you
