Happy End [English translation]

That's no happy end

(That's no happy end)

I miss the feeling from when we were together

Then, when we were Bonnie and Clyde1

Two hundred kilometers per hour as we drove past

Now I'm not even a second car2 for you

In our favorite films

Not everything was perfect

I loved that we were real

But now, there's no happy end

All these movies make is worse

Because they just remind me of you

That's no happy end

Hey, I can't sleep anymore, because I'm still thinking of you

That's no happy end

You're stuck in my head, I can't suppress it anymore

I want to skip your story

Without missing you

I want to tell me friends that you don't matter to me

But you really do

I'm Jack3, I'm Forrest4, I'm Harvey Specter5

I'm Batman, I'm Rabbit3 and Hannibal Lecter6, too

I'm Christian Grey7, I'm Mr. Big8

Walter White9 and Lupin10 when you miss me

Because you're Kevin home alone11

No messages from Sam12 again, because he's sleeping at Aladdin's13

I don't think this romance film will take any happy turns

A romance without kisses at the end

All these movies make is worse

Because they just remind me of you

That's no happy end

Hey, I can't sleep anymore, because I'm still thinking of you

That's no happy end

You're stuck in my head, I can't suppress it anymore

I want to skip your story

Without missing you

I want to tell me friends that you don't matter to me

But you really do

(I don't think this romance film will take any happy turns

A romance without kisses at the end)

But you really do

(I don't think this romance film will take any happy turns

A romance without kisses at the end)

But you really do
