Description
Love is sometimes like a loan with no right of return. You take it, and you can't pay it back with anything, not even time. You gave everything: your heart, your breath, even your silly habits, which suddenly became endearing - but then it turned out that the agreement had an expiry date. And now you stand in the silence where laughter once rang out, and you realise: yes, pain cannot be divided in half, just as the past cannot be divided.
But still, a strange calm remains inside - as if admitting defeat is a form of freedom. Let it take away everything that was shared: after all, it always belonged to her - even the moments when it seemed that love would last forever.
Lyrics and translation
Original
You were looking like the rest of my life
Swore I never had to think twice
'Cause I was falling for the stars in your eyes
I never thought the fall would end
I wish that I could make you stay, I wish it hadn't been broke
But if goodbye's the only way, well, take it with you when you go
'Cause I don't want it back no more
When you tore it all to pieces
Yeah, I've heard it said before
But now I know It don't break even
If I can't stop your love from leaving
You can't stop this heart from beating
And pick it up, what's left of us, go on and take it
'Cause it was always yours for the breaking
I should've known this is how it'd be
'Cause I gave you every single part of me
You took it right off my sleeve
And put my heart in your hands
Don't know how I could be so damn naïve
But looking back, honestly, I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause I don't want it back no more
When you tore it all to pieces
Yeah, I've heard it said before
But now I know it don't break even
If I can't stop your love from leaving
You can't stop this heart from beating
And pick it up, what's left of us, go on and take it
'Cause it was always yours for the breaking
Now I don't want it back no more
You tore it all to pieces
Yeah, I've heard it said before
But now I know it don't break even
If I can't stop your love from leaving
You can't stop this heart from beating
And pick it up, what's left of us, go on and take it
Go on and take it
'Cause it was always yours for the breaking
It was always yours, was always yours
