[English]

Oh, yea, yeah

Really wish I could

(Wish I could)

If only someone could unbreak my heart

And come relieve my pain

If somehow I could wish upon a star

And make all of the memories go away

But my mind just keeps on going back

And I can't help but think about

That guy that's gon' make me miss out on you

(Out on you)

And I can't help but remember

'Bout that sad day in September

That day he took my heart with him

When he left, oh

See, eventually I will get through this

But right now it seems my heart's in the way

I apologize for the way that I treat you

But I gotta leave you

Unless somehow I come across a case

Of amnesia, amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(To forget, to forget, to forget the heartache)

Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(To forget, to forget, to forget the pain)

Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(It'll make, it'll make, it'll make things better)

I gotta leave ya

(Oh, oh, oh)

I gotta leave you

I tried to leave the past behind me

But it just hurts so bad, oh

And I told myself, please don't cry

Let it go and let the past be the past

But my mind just keeps on goin' back

I can help but think about

That guy that's gon' make me miss out on you

And I can't help but remember

'Bout that sad day in September

When he took my heart

And just ran away, oh

See, eventually I will get through this

(I gotta get through it)

But right now it seems my heart's in the way

(But it hurts so bad)

I apologize for the way that I treated you

(For the way that I treat ya)

But I gotta leave you

(But I gotta leave you)

Unless somehow I come across a case

Of amnesia, amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(To forget, to forget, to forget the heartache)

Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(To forget, to forget, to forget the pain)

Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(It'll make, it'll make, it'll make things better)

I gotta leave ya

(Oh, oh, oh)

I gotta leave you

Every time you try to get closer to me

I'm fallin' back 'cause I can't go down this road again

Memories won't go away, constantly in control of my life

I wanna erase it all and forget 'bout it all, oh

See, eventually I will get through this

But right now it seems my heart's in the way

I apologize for the way that I treat you

(For the way that I treat ya)

But I gotta leave you

(I gotta leave you)

Unless somehow I come across a case

Of amnesia

See, eventually I will get through this

(Maybe one day I will)

But right now it seems my heart's in the way

(But right now it's just too hard)

I apologize for the way that I treat you

(I apologize, never meant to break your heart)

But I gotta leave you

Unless somehow I come across a case

Of amnesia, amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(To forget, to forget, to forget the heartache)

Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(To forget, to forget, to forget the pain)

Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia

(It'll make, it'll make, it'll make things better)

I gotta leave ya

(Oh, oh, oh)

I gotta leave you
