[English]

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

I wish I could, but I can't go

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

To the days when I thought I knew ya

...

This is me you're talking 'bout, your only friend

Put your love into the ground on my big weekend

While I was singing songs about you on the TV screen

Don't know how he left the hotel, I wasn't there to see

In the morning, your hands around my waist, just us two

In the evening, on my mouth, could you still taste him?

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

I wish I could, but I can't go

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

To the days when I thought I knew ya

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

You wish you could, but you can't go

Can't go back, baby (la-la-la-la-la-la)

I wish you weren't dead to me, so much to miss in you

More than just my enemy, you were my lover too

And I hope you forgive yourself, because I swear I do

And it breaks my heart to say, I can't wait to live without you

In the morning, yeah, I wake up with the sun across my face

In the evening, yeah, I lay with so much love to take your place, and now I

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

I wish I could, but I can't go

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

To the days when I thought I knew ya

(Can't go back, baby, yeah-yeah)

You wish you could, but you can't go

Can't go back, baby (la-la-la-la-la-la)

...

(La-la-la-la-la-la)

...

(La-la-la-la-la-la)

...

(La-la-la-la-la-la)
