[English]

You'll never no what you're missing until you've had it

Now you're my living addiction and I'm an addict

I hit my limit, I'm giving into the habit

Breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart

I used to pray to the Devil, "Give me an angel"

I don't want nobody thinking that I'm ungrateful

But how could something so heavenly be so painful?

You're breaking my heart, breaking my heart

Like I'm caught in a wave, in a wave that's pulling me to you

Aww, it's like I'm stuck in a cycle of pain

But I don't wanna lose you

Don't wanna lose you

Ooh, it's déjà vu

It's killing me

No matter what I do

I keep falling back to you

Ooh, it's déjà vu

Playing on repeat

No matter what I do

I can't stop this déjà, déjà vu

You connect the new me to the old me

You're illuminati, you control me

You've been keeping secrets, never told me

Can't say goodbye

And I don't know why

You're my lifeline in the night-time

When I just need a taste

You're the red wine and the white lines

When I need my escape

You're my wartime in the peace time

I die every day

Yeah, you fuck me up

I can't get enough

Of you, it's déjà vu

It's killing me

No matter what I do

I keep falling back to you

Ooh, it'
