[English]
It no longer makes sense
I don't see a future with you
My heart is broken
You will find someone like you
Like you, like you
You will find someone like you
Like you, like you
...
It might not work out, but I know you're the one I want
Life is just like that, I learned from my mistakes
I only tend to desire what I don't have
Now that you've left, you see my effort
You left, but you took a part of me
Our story isn't new, so it doesn't end here
How is a guy supposed to balance like this?
I miss you so much that I couldn't sleep today
I feel nostalgia, I feel nostalgia
Sorry for showing up, I should have called
I felt nostalgia, I feel nostalgia
Sorry for showing up and not giving a heads up
It no longer makes sense
I don't see a future with you
My heart is broken
You will find someone like you
Like you, like you
You will find someone like you
Like you, like you
You will find someone like you
So if I put my face down (down) and sway
That's your weak point, it's my promotion
My body is a dose of chaos in your pants
And you can't touch, it's your bail
Reactions in your pants
Baby, you can see that your body
Isn't in agreement (Isn't in agreement)
You said I was too much work
Look at how many volunteers want to work now
Like you
They want to have me in practice
You at parties, I was held captive (ye)
So this is my after party, ye-ye
Your love already fit in my chest (In my chest)
Your ring already fit on my finger (On my finger)
But on the way to the altar
I played he loves me, he loves me not
With the petals of the bouquet and I understood that
It no longer makes sense
I don't see a future with you
My heart is broken
You will find someone like you
Like you, like you
You will find someone like you
Like you, like you
(You will find someone like you)
I feel nostalgia, I feel nostalgia
Sorry for showing up, I should have called
I felt nostalgia, I feel nostalgia
Sorry for showing up and not giving a heads up
