You run away, and i stay here.
Hello, sadness.
You run away, and I'm not afraid, not afraid.
And maybe it was better before -
Without remorse and pretense.
There is no time to think. Pull yourself together.
Bite your lips. Call me, don't shy away.
Slow down the pace. Master the tricks.
Blatantly lie, just don't ever admit you do.
Blame it all on me,
I'm not angry - I'll understand.
The full circle of time will suddenly speed up the pace, friend. 1
I'm not losing any hopes, and I'm afraid of clean hands.
And who is the liar between two of us
I won't ever find out, sweet boy.
There is no time to think. Pull yourself together.
Bite your lips. Call me, don't shy away.
Slow down the pace. Master the tricks.
Blatantly lie, just don't ever admit you do.
Blame it all on me,
I'm not angry - I'll understand.
And the minutes ran past me.
I was a king of such a true world
For such a long time.
So proudly2, breaking my back.
Loving so hard as I could.
You were saying that time is bent,
While looking through your fingers3 impatiently.
You were saying: "Love is a handrail for notes".4
You run away, and i stay here. So be it.
I'm spending smiles and promises - I'm afraid I'll go broke.
And maybe it was better before -
Without remorse and pretense.
1. "Замкнутый круг" is actually an idiom in Russian, means the situation you cannot resolve, a deadlock , a stand-off. "A full circle" is also an idiom in English but a slightly different one; here it describes the meaning of the lyrics the best, though2. Originally there is another idiom, a pretty fun one, which doesn't make much sense if translated3. Can be understood as another idiom, meaning 'turning a blind eye' on things4. This verse doesn't appear in the remix version which made it to the album.
