Description
Sometimes love is not a fire, but a quiet smouldering, when it seems warm, but smoke stings your eyes. At first, there is light, as if someone left a lantern on the porch of the soul. Then there are embers, the smell of burning, and emptiness, in which a stranger's voice still echoes. Words spoken ‘back then’ return at night like annoying mosquitoes - seemingly insignificant, but they keep you from sleeping.
And it's not an enemy, not a storm - just a person who once promised ‘I won't touch you’ and touched you anyway. He took apart the remains of faith, as if checking what it was made of. And now even the hope that got inside hurts - not from happiness, but from rust.
It turns out that the heart can be repaired, but the sound will still be slightly off-key. Especially if you remember who broke it.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Middle of the night, and I'm running back what you said
You're not even here, but you still won't let me rest
I'm just so tired, all these years lost in love
Lost in love
And I'm hanging onto every word when you're gone
Follow where you lead me, but you just lead me on
Say that you want me, I know you don't
No, you don't, 'cause you don't know
What I've been through
Led me to you
You found me, I was broken
You let a little bit of hope in
But you, you broke me too
This is all my own fault, let you get in my head
Get the best of my heart, then you leave me for dead
Tell me you love me, I know you won't
No, you won't, 'cause you don't know
What I've been through
Led me to you
You found me, I was broken
You let a little bit of hope in
But you, you broke me too
What I've been through
Led me to you
You found me, I was broken
You let a little bit of hope in
But you, you broke me too
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
You broke me too
Oh, oh, oh
You broke me too
Oh, oh, oh
You broke me too
