[English]

It's making you cry every time you give your love to me this way

Saying you'd wait for me to stay, I know it hurts you

But I need to tell you something

My heart just can't be faithful for long

I swear I'll only make you cry

Maybe I'd change for you someday, but I can't help the way I feel

Wish I was good, wish that I could give you my love now...

But I need to tell you something

My heart just can't be faithful for long

I swear I'll only make you cry

...

I need to tell you something

My heart just can't be faithful for long

I swear I'll only make you cry

...
