[English]

We been talking for hours

'Bout how we shouldn't talk for hours on end

...

Kissing after a conversation

'Bout how we'd probably be better off as friends

Same time here next weekend

Say, "We won't do this again"

Make me fall where I stand

Only like you can

Yeah, I say, "I'm done," but I'm still confused

How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?

And I change my mind, but it's still on you

How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

Selfishly don't wanna give you

Time to be on someone else's lips

But I'll take three short hours over three long weeks

Pretending like we don't exist, hmm

Same time here next weekend

Say, "We won't do this again"

Make me fall where I stand

Only like you can

Yeah, I say, "I'm done," but I'm still confused

How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?

And I change my mind, but it's still on you

How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

After the aftermath, I know you'll be coming back

To the back bedroom and it won't be the last

Of the aftermath, I know you'll be coming back

To the back bedroom, and it won't be the last time

I say, "I'm done," but I'm still confused

How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?

And I change my mind, but it's still on you

How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

Yeah, I like my bed, but it likes you, too

How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
