[English]

Do you believe in life after love?

No matter how hard I try

You keep pushing me aside

And I can't break through

There's no talking to you

So sad that you're leaving

It takes time to believe it

But after all is said and done

You're gonna be the lonely one

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough, no

What am I supposed to do?

Sit around and wait for you?

Well, I can't do that

There's no turning back

I need time to move on

I need love to feel strong

'Cause I've had time to think it through

And maybe I'm too good for you

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough, no
