[English]

Living with a broken heart

Never meant to do you harm

Don't ever wanna see you cry, again

And everybody hurts sometimes

Never meant to do you harm

I know you're gonna be just fine

I prayed for us late at night

You turned your back on me more than once

No one will love you like me

No one will love you like me

You have to let me go

You have to leave me, you're doomed

You've abandoned me for so many years

But know that no one will love you like me

You have to let me go

You have to leave me, you're doomed

You've abandoned me for so many years

But know that no one will love you like me

Living with a broken heart

Never meant to do you harm

Don't ever wanna see you cry, again

And everybody hurts sometimes

Never meant to do you harm

I know you're gonna be just fine

I had problems you didn't care

Rich people problems, I was seen eating alone at Fouquet's

For you I would have done anything, I would have let myself be suffocated

Just saying, but not all men are the same

Return the favor or we stop

I swore you would be the only one in my harem

Then you look like my mom

That's why I'm hooked

But tell me what's up, we're just explaining ourselves

Living with a broken heart

I Never meant to do you harm

Don't ever wanna see you cry, again

And everybody hurts sometimes

Never meant to do you harm

I know you're gonna be just fine

I wish I could go back in time

See the world with different eyes

Knowing what we both know now

Could we made it work somehow

What we say, what we say

What we make and cannot make

What we get is what we get

And this is what we're stuck with now

You have to let me go

You have to leave me, you're doomed

You've abandoned me for so many years

But know that no one will love you like me

Do you remember how you used to get lost in my eyes?

I remember

Do you remember how you promised you never say goodbye

I remember, I remember, I remember

You have to let me go

You have to leave me, you're doomed

You've abandoned me for so many years

But know that no one will love you like me

What we say, whatever what we say

What we make and cannot make

What we get is what we get

But know that no one will love you like me

Living with a broken heart

Never meant to do you harm

Don't ever wanna see you cry, again

And everybody hurts sometimes

Never meant to do you harm

I know you're gonna be just fine

J'ai prié pour nous tard le soir

Tu m'as tourné le dos plus d'une fois

Personne ne t'aimera comme moi

Personne ne t'aimera comme moi

Faut me laisser m'en aller

Faut me laisser, t'es condamné

Tu m'as délaissé depuis tant d'années

Mais sache que personne ne t'aimera comme moi

Faut me laisser m'en aller

Faut me laisser, t'es condamné

Tu m'as délaissé depuis tant d'années

Mais sache que personne ne t'aimera comme moi

Living with a broken heart

Never meant to do you harm

Don't ever wanna see you cry, again

And everybody hurts sometimes

Never meant to do you harm

I know you're gonna be just fine

J'avais des problèmes tu t'en foutais

Des problèmes de riche on m'a vu manger seul au Fouquet's

Pour toi j'aurais tout fait, je me serais laissé étouffer

Façon de parler mais tous les hommes sont pas pareils

Rends-moi la pareille ou alors on arrête

Je m'étais juré que tu serais la seule dans mon harem

Puis tu ressemble à ma reum

C'est pour ça je suis piqué

Mais dis moi de quoi t'as reup, on est juste en train de s'expliquer

Living with a broken heart

I Never meant to do you harm

Don't ever wanna see you cry, again

And everybody hurts sometimes

Never meant to do you harm

I know you're gonna be just fine

I wish I could go back in time

See the world with different eyes

Knowing what we both know now

Could we made it work somehow

What we say, what we say

What we make and cannot make

What we get is what we get

And this is what we're stuck with now

Faut me laisser m'en aller

Faut me laisser, t'es condamné

Tu m'as délaissé depuis tant d'années

Mais sache que personne ne t'aimera comme moi

Do you remember how you used to get lost in my eyes?

I remember

Do you remember how you promised you never say goodbye

I remember, I remember, I remember

Mais sache que personne ne t'aimera comme moi

What we say, whatever what we say

What we make and cannot make

What we get is what we get

Mais sache que personne ne t'aimera comme moi
