(Ooh) 00:08

Heartbreak is the word right now 00:17
We took it all for granted 00:21
And sorry don't really work right now 00:25
Guess I'm all out of chances 00:29
Don't even know where to search right now 00:33
Can't see it all through the damage 00:37
That we tried so hard to relieve, but 00:40
Things don't always go like we planned them 00:47
And sometimes we don't understand them (ooh) 00:52
Like how we made love and it faded 00:55
Maybe we couldn't see it 00:59
That we should just leave it alone 01:02
Alone 01:07
Maybe we're best on our own 01:10

Memories are the worst right now 01:29
In my mind, we're still dancing 01:32
To a song that we can't make out 01:36
And your hand was in my hand 01:40
Forgiveness ain't part of the budget right now 01:43
We're all out of advances 01:48
But we should've known that in love there's no receipts 01:51
And things don't always go like we planned them 01:58

Oh, who said that time was enough? 02:30
'Cause I still can't get over your love 02:35

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
(Ooh)
...
(Ooh)
...
Heartbreak is the word right now
We took it all for granted
And sorry don't really work right now
Guess I'm all out of chances
Don't even know where to search right now
Can't see it all through the damage
That we tried so hard to relieve, but
Things don't always go like we planned them
And sometimes we don't understand them (ooh)
Like how we made love and it faded
Maybe we couldn't see it
That we should just leave it alone
Alone
Maybe we're best on our own
Alone
...
Memories are the worst right now
In my mind, we're still dancing
To a song that we can't make out
And your hand was in my hand
Forgiveness ain't part of the budget right now
We're all out of advances
But we should've known that in love there's no receipts
And things don't always go like we planned them
And sometimes we don't understand them (uh-uh)
Like how we made love and it faded
Maybe we couldn't see it
That we should just leave it alone
Alone
Maybe we're best on our own
Alone
Oh, who said that time was enough?
'Cause I still can't get over your love
It's hard to see, to believe
That things don't always go like we planned them
Sometimes we don't understand them (oh)
Like how we made love and it faded
We couldn't see it
That we should just leave it alone
Alone
Maybe we're best on our own
Alone
Things don't always go like we planned them
And sometimes we don't understand them
