[Verse 1]
Like clouds pass over the sun
Thoughts flow like a river runs
And if you focus on them for some time
The sun will shine, they'll pass by
Just an ordinary kid, so scared
Of dark figures that aren't there
Anymore, an imprint from the past
That leaves you somatically sad, I
[Chorus]
I cry
Deprived
Not fine
Angry on the inside
I cry
Deprived
Not fine
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
[Post-Chorus]
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
[Verse 2]
Una sombra abajo de mi cama
Cómo se llama éste fantasma?
Es mi espejo, es mi espejo
Y me persigue hasta que hablеmos
I take back my energy
I takе away the need to please everybody
Release your fear, release your fear
I promise you, you're safe here
[Chorus]
I cry
Deprived
Not fine
Angry on the inside
I cry
Deprived
Not fine
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
[Post-Chorus]
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
(I'm breaking down)
(I'm breaking down)
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
[Verse 3]
Friends with my demons like they are lovers
Everyone's shadow wants to be uncovered
Learn to love the coward and you'll birth a star
You have the power, take a light to the dark
To the dark
