Been loved, fooled so many times
Having experienced wonderful moments
Irreparable damage caused by losing control
Am I still unable to develop some maturity after training?
To make him see that things shouldn't be so wrong
Talking about love is like failing that subject
Is doing the right thing enough to pass?
Making mistakes, do I need to ponder in a past life?
How many more tears must I shed to qualify for the finals?
How many more times must I take the test to get my license to love?
I lack confidence
Yet I throw myself into thousands of love battles
Even if at first I didn’t know how to resist
Climbing up from my mistakes
How many more times must I hurt before I consider myself learned?
And must I go through more pain to recognize it all?
Leaving behind a few grades, I hope I finally wake up
Paying the price for happiness
Went through so many lessons without common sense, only then can I love you properly
Things I learned from a breakup
Could this be my secret to loving?
Wrong timing, wrong person, I made all the mistakes
Realized that holding onto these lessons can be a shield, perhaps I can turn mistakes into gains
Even with my ex, despite many clashes
In the agony, I learned the tango of love
I wish I could store the mistakes I've made
Enough to win an award
How many more tears must I shed before I qualify for the finals?
How many more times must I pass the test to get my license to love?
Even with extremely bad luck
Learning lessons, I probably won't be too bad
Today, about things that almost destroyed me
Will I be redeemed if I meet him again someday?
Do I need to get a license to drive?
Do lawyers and doctors need training to be fully qualified?
Learn step by step, out of respect for love
I’ve been thoroughly trained in bad love, so I can bring you home
If love’s test is also cruel, don’t be afraid
Would it be better to delay graduation?
How many more tears must I shed before I qualify for the finals?
How many more times must I pass to get my license to love?
I lack confidence
Still pouring my heart into love’s thousands of battles
Even if at first I didn’t know how to resist
Climbing from my mistakes
How many more times must I hurt before I consider myself learned?
Having had to repeat classes, I hope I finally understand
Pay the price for happiness
Like a naive child, must I wear enough bandages to move up a grade?
What I learned from heartbreak
Will meeting him again someday be the ultimate proof of love?
Can enduring more bring me peace?
Learn love deeply and intensely
