Description
Sometimes relationships are like a room without doors: it seems like everything is still together, but the exit has been lost somewhere between “hello” and “goodbye.” The words sound familiar, the hands remember the warmth, but inside it is already cold and quiet, like before the rain. Nothing collapses loudly - it just cracks at the joints.
Both stand on the border where love no longer saves, but it's still scary to let go. It seems that if you linger for a moment, everything will become clear - but no. Only the echo of your own doubts and the rhythm of your heart, which repeats the same thing over and over: “stuck in the middle.” And maybe this is the most honest place between “everything was” and “nothing remains.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
We're caught between hello, goodbye. Stuck in the middle of the lows, the highs.
Nothing's forever. Am I wrong or right?
How can I see the other side when I'm stuck in the middle?
I can see it on your face tonight.
There's somewhere else you wanna go.
Your hands are holding me a little too tight.
We feel so lost, but feel at home. Should I stay? Should you leave?
When half of you loves half of me. We're caught between hello, goodbye.
Stuck in the middle of the lows, the highs. Nothing's forever. Am I wrong or right?
How can I see the other side when I'm stuck in the middle?
Middle, the middle. I'm stuck in the middle. Middle, the middle.
I'm stuck in the middle. Middle, the middle. I'm stuck in the middle. Middle, the middle.
I'm stuck in the middle.
I'm still holding on to who I thought you were.
When you're so clearly someone else.
And I'd rather see you still than have it hurt.
There's a heaven in this hell. Should I stay? Should you leave?
When half of you loves half of me.
We're caught between hello, goodbye. Stuck in the middle of the lows, the highs.
Nothing's forever. Am I wrong or right?
How can I see the other side when I'm stuck in the middle? Middle, the middle. I'm stuck in the middle.
Middle, the middle. I'm stuck in the middle. Middle, the middle.
I'm stuck in the middle. Middle, the middle. I'm stuck in the middle.
Caught between hello, goodbye. Stuck in the middle of the lows, the highs.
Nothing's forever. Am I wrong or right?
How can I see the other side when I'm stuck in the middle?
