Verse 1

Tell me what happened to you, why do I notice you cold?

Your kisses don't taste anymore how they tasted

Or: Your kisses no longer taste like they used to

You continue sleeping in my bed, but I feel it empty

Tell me what happened to you, you're not the same as before

It seems that for you this is not important

Or: It seems like this isn't important to you

There are things in life so obvious that it's not even necessary to say

Chorus 1

It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable

Before you came without calling, now without warning you leave

It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable

You don't need to pretend anymore, if

You put the end in brackets

This can't continue anymore

You put the end in brackets

Verse 2

Your mouth denies what your gaze says

Your hands don't warm up when you touch my skin

That way of kissing doesn't taste like anything

Or: That way of kissing tastes like nothing

The one embracing you is me, but you're thinking about him

Or: I'm the one hugging you, but you're thinking of him

And you, you already gave up on it

Just be honest, I ask you

I prefer the truth to living with your shared lips

It's hurting me and you don't know how much

Because of you, the room froze

Every word hurts me, I don't think that I'll recover

Chorus 2

It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable

Before you came without calling, now without warning you leave

It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable

You don't need to pretend anymore, if

You put the end in brackets

This can't continue anymore

You put the end in brackets
