Description
Sometimes love turns into a meeting room: the silence is thick as dough, and the air is cut with a knife - not a kitchen knife, but a moral one. Everyone understands everything, but they continue to play ‘nothing is happening.’ It's funny how two adult souls are capable of remaining silent in unison, just so they won't be the ‘first to speak.’
And yet there is a strange tenderness in this - in the attempt to let go gently, without drama, without shouting. Just to let feelings breathe while they are still alive. After all, sometimes the best way to catch your breath is to finally stop sharing oxygen between two people.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Let me loosen up the pressure, save us time
We could cut the air from the mood in this room with a kitchen knife
Shouldn't we know better? But we gotta make a move
No one plays the game to lose
Nothing's said but the feelings tellin', oh
I'm unprepared, but I guess I'll say it
I gotta say it
Since you had some time, how you feel 'bout separating? (How?)
It's hard enough to talk about, let's not make it complicated (no)
Let's just let it breathe, what's the point if we're suffocating?
But we know the one that does it first is the one that is the most hated
We tried to talk about it, we up all night, we be up in arms
'Cause it's hard to swallow, spit it out and we can let go
There ain't no need to be sorry, when nobody hurt nobody
I know you wanna end it, but you won't
I'm just about to say it, but I don't
Nothing's said but the feelings tellin' (yeah)
I'm unprepared, but I guess I'll say it
You know I gotta say it
Since you had some time, how you feel 'bout separating? (Yeah, yeah)
It's hard enough to talk about, let's not make it complicated ('cated, complicated)
Let's just let it breathe (let it breathe), what's the point if we're suffocating?
But we know the one that does it first is the one that is the most hated
Since you had some time, how you feel 'bout separating?
(How you feel, baby? How you feel, baby?)
It's hard enough to talk about, let's not make it complicated (complicated, no)
Let's just let it breathe, what's the point if we're suffocating?
But we know the one that does it first is the one that is the most hated
Yeah
Oh
Ooh-whoa, huh
Oh-oh
Oh, baby
Oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh
