[English]

You're s-s-s-s-s-so damn nervous

And you d-d-d-d-don't know why

In my hand and it's fully loaded

Hit send and you won't survive

You let your guard down

For the first time

Tastes bitter right now

But look at the bright side (oh)

I know you're dead inside (oh)

I know I gave you the time of your life

Held your heart, then I broke it twice

But look at the bright side (oh)

Now you know what it feels like

Got me in your n-n-nervous system

You're pacin' and you're spacin' out

Every word got my initials in 'em

Ride the bus with your heart torn now

You let your guard down

For the first time

Tastes bitter right now

But look at thе bright side (oh)

I know you're dead insidе (oh)

I know I gave you the time of your life

Held your heart, then I broke it twice

But look at the bright side (oh)

Now you know what it feels like

Wake up, shakin'

Mentally breakin'

Was it all a dream? Was it all a dream?

In a cold sweat, regret

You just wanna reset

But it's not a dream, but it's not a dream

Look at the bright side (oh)

I know you're dead inside (oh)

I know I gave you the time of your life

Held your heart, then I broke it twice

But look at the bright side (oh)

Now you know what it feels like
