Gubben i lådan [English translation]

Got a bottle in my head, laid knocked out in the ER

Was dead for minutes, my whole soul was broken

Was chased by the cops, was lost in the deep

I have fumbled in the dark, but in you I saw the light

And for you I have pretended, and hidden my tears

With you I am smaller, like a jack in the box

I refuse to realize, you fail me always

I am digging my grave for you, I am a soldier for you

I took a bullet for you, and got a crumb back

For you I would do it a thousand times over

I have given you everything and I have nothing left

For you I would do it a thousand times over

Got left in the town, while you went and closed your eyes

Got a boot to the stomach, until I tasted the ground

Still I went back, and I must be crazy

That just was tricked, and that thought of the team

Because I thought of myself, and I saw all the signs

But I wanted to be better but then everything got worse

I refuse to realize, you fail me always

I am digging my grave for you, I am a soldier for you

I took a bullet for you, and got a crumb back

For you I would do it a thousand times over

I have given you everything and I have nothing left

For you I would do it a thousand times over

A thousand times over

Put us both on a wave and soon you will fly among stars

I bear the weight of space, still you are in my heart

Take my shimmer, because I am burning

You are but a pale lantern, I have done this so long

I can just as well continue

I took a bullet for you, and got a crumb back

For you I would do it a thousand times over

I have given you everything and I have nothing left

For you I would do it a thousand times over

I took a bullet for you, and got a crumb back

For you I would do it a thousand times over

I have given you everything and I have nothing left

For you I would do it a thousand times over

I took a bullet for you, and got a crumb back

For you I would do it a thousand times over
