[English]

Out, out

Don't get it, don't get what I gotta do

Pathetic, all your stupid excuses

Forget it, can't let go of me and you

I said it, yeah, I said it

Baby, bite your lip before you spit it out

Before I lose my shit

Oh, I'm crashin' out

You look like you've been having doubts

Oh, I'm crashin' out

Don't you dare say you're walkin' out

'Cause I'm not like the girls you're used to

I'll be goin' crazy on you

If I can't have you now

Then I'll be, I'll be

Crashin' out, out

Regret it, break my heart, I promise you'll regret it

I ain't somebody to lose

Pathetic, once I'm gone, good luck to you

I said it, best you're ever gettin'

And baby, bite your lip before you spit it out

Before I lose my shit

Oh, I'm crashin' out

You look like you've been having doubts

Oh, I'm crashin' out

Don't you dare say you're walkin' out

'Cause I'm not like the girls you're used to (Girls you’re used to)

I'll be goin' crazy on you (Crazy on you)

If I can't have you now

Then I'll be, I'll be

Crashin' out, out

What happened to forever?

How could you leave me crashing out?

I'm breaking, too much pressure

Don't do this, leave me crashin' out
