Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm coming home, leave the light on.
Yeah, you are the one that I've come to rely on.
You're drifting away and I'm praying that I'm wrong.
Keep me in the dark if it's next to you.
Don't tell me what you're thinking 'cause honestly I'm scared to death that I already know.
When you call,
I let the phone keep ringing, ringing out so I don't have to hear you let me go.
Come on now, don't say that. Don't do something you can't take back.
Know I sound like a maniac. I just don't wanna know.
So just make it up. If I'm dreaming, then wake me up.
Get me drunk on a half full cup 'cause I just don't wanna know.
I know my hearing's selective.
If I don't like the truth, then I'll just reject it.
It's all just a matter of perspective and everything's fine from my point of view.
Don't tell me what you're thinking 'cause honestly I'm scared to death that I already know.
When you call,
I let the phone keep ringing, ringing out so I don't have to hear you let me go.
Come on now, don't say that. Don't do something you can't take back.
Know I sound like a maniac. I just don't wanna know.
So just make it up. If I'm dreaming, then wake me up.
Get me drunk on a half full cup 'cause I just don't wanna know.
Maybe it's time to accept that it's over.
It's best that you go, it's been so nice to know you.
I promise I won't try to change your made up mind.
Maybe I just don't have it in me if I have to put it simply.
Oh, I can't see a future if you're not in it with me.
You keep talking about closure, keep saying that I told you, but if this is over. . .
Don't say that. Don't do something you can't take back.
Know I sound like a maniac. I just don't wanna know.
So just make it up. If I'm dreaming, then wake me up.
Get me drunk on a half full cup 'cause I just don't wanna know.
