[English]

It's kinda hard waking up in the morning without you

When I reach over and realize it's over

I just let the memories wash over me, through me, and out of me

But they're still on the sheets, and they stay there

So, I lay there with you

Even though we didn't work

It's always love, always love

And even though we hurt each other more than once

It was love, always love

For all those times that we locked eyes

When I was yours and you were mine

It's always love, always love

Nobody talks about walking away when there's still love

Feeling so far after being so close is a mindfuck

You helped me grow into me, so I couldn't help but change

But changing meant seeing some things that

I just couldn't change

And even though we didn't work

It's always love, always love

And even though we hurt each other more than once

It was love, always love

For all those times that we locked eyes

When I was yours and you were mine

It's always love, always love

...

Even though we didn't work

It's always love, always love

Even though we hurt each other more than once

It's always love

All those times that we locked eyes

When I was yours and you were mine

It's always love, oh, it's always love

It's always love, always love

...
