[Chorus]
It must change
It must change
It must change
It must change
[Verse 1]
The way you talk to me, it must change
The things you do to me
The way you leave me
The seeds you give to me, it must change
It must change
The death inside you
That you pass into me
The truth is that I always
Thought you were beautiful
In your own way
[Interlude]
You know how they always said that light was the opposite of darkness?

[Bridge]
That's why this is so sad
That's why this is so sad
I'm creating life
That's why this is so sad

So sad

And that's why this is so sad
[Chorus]
It must change
Must changе
It must change
It must change
[Verse 2]
The city in your hеad
Collapsing walls and lead, it must change
The fire is cleaning
The oil from the stones

Giving you hell
The truth is that our love
Will ricochet through eternity
[Outro]
We're not getting out of here
That's why this is so sad
No one's getting out of here
That's why this is so sad
This is our world
That's why this is so sad
That's why this is so sad
It's so sad
So sad
We're just gonna be alone in a place for us
So sad
This is the place
So sad
So sad
