[English]

I'm still alone

Missing home

Every song I hear I'm thinking 'bout you

I'm getting on

But since you're gone

Ain't nobody left for me to turn to

You ran

Straight to

His arms

After crying on my shoulder

No matter what you say

He'll never take my place

Does he love you

And make you feel like a summer day

Does he touch you

And does he take all your pain away

And can he make you smile like magic

Jump through the fire and set you free

It's obvious to see

He ain't better than me

No

He ain't better than me

Tell me why

You said goodbye

I never lied

I never cheated your heart

And now I find

You cheated mine

It exploded like a shot in the dark

You ran

Straight to

His arms

After crying on my shoulder

No matter what you say

He'll never take my place

Does he love you

And make you feel like a summer day

Does he touch you

And does he take all your pain away

And can he make you smile like magic

Jump through the fire and set you free

It's obvious to see

He ain't better than me

No

He ain't better than me

It's too much

When it's all up in my face

But I just can't fight

Don't wanna believe it

I'll never believe it

No

Wake me up

When we can live again live again right

Cause that's the only way it should be

That's the only way the only way

Does he love you

And make you feel like a summer day

Does he touch you

And does he take all your pain away

And can he make you smile like magic

Jump through the fire and set you free

It's obvious to see

He ain't better than me

That's why you gotta believe

He ain't better than me
