[English]

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun

You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one

People seems to love you, they gravitate towards you

That's why I started to hate you so much and I just completely ignored you

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long

It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong

I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years

All the pain I've caused you, the constant flowing of your tears

Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough

When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love

And if it's not too late, could you please find it deep within your heart

To try and go back, go back to the start?

Go back to the start

I've been so evil with my constant invasions

But you made it so easy for me, you always rise to the occasion

I'd always pull you up on every stupid thing that you said

But I found it so entertaining, messing around with your head

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long

It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong

I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years

All the pain I've caused you, the constant flowing of your tears

Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough

When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love

And if it's not too late could you please find it deep within your heart

To try and go back, go back to the start?

Go back to the start

Go back to the start

Go back to the start

This is not just a song, I intend to put these words into action

I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long

It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong

I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years

All the pain I've caused you, the constant flowing of your tears

Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough

When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love

And if it's not too late, could you please find it deep within your heart

To try and go back, go back to the start?

Go back to the start
