Such a pity
You left today
From the city
Of broken waves
All though you promised
I've been betrayed
4 some secret
That you needed
4 some secret
She's the girl that you never liked anyway
Kill the city
In waterways
In the shitty
Brown golden waves
Although you promised
I feel betrayed
4 some secret
That you needed
4 some secret
She's the girl that you never liked anyway
