Lyrics and translation
Original
One, two, three, four!
Fire won't burn, water is dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and I,
I never cry.
I never miss you.
No, I never miss you except when I'm awake.
And I don't need you.
No, I don't need you except when my heart breaks.
I'm getting used to being alone in this empty house that's not a home.
I tell myself it's over and I put you on a shelf. I tell myself I'm happy and I also tell myself.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and I,
I never cry.
In every room, I find something you left behind. Come get 'em, they're all yours.
I haven't changed the locks. You don't have to knock. Your key fits every door.
It doesn't mean that
I want you back.
I'll find someone else and that's a fact. I'm better off without you.
That's what I say all day. I say I'm glad you left me and I also say.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and I,
I never cry.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and I,
I never cry.
I'm getting used to being alone in this empty house that's not a home. I tell myself it's over and I put you on a shelf.
I tell myself I'm happy and I also tell myself.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and I, I never cry.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water runs dry and it snows in July.
Fire won't burn, water is dry and I,
I never cry.
