[English]

You must erase your memories of me, I’m poison I know I can’t take it no more

I know nothing is forever But I still can’t let go Yeh

(Tell me what you want)

Turns out the love I wanted to give you Is hurting me more

I’m dangerous, so relentless The cold truth is worth more than my heart

Got to get away I can’t hesitate anymore Everything turns gray

I carve out my fantasy and run away Before the poison spreads Got to get away

I’m too afraid to break it off, so I lie again Even my memories are becoming tainted

Please baby you have to get away from me

Someone tell me what should I do

You must erase your memories of me, I’m poison I know I can’t take it no more

Even though I couldn’t get past this, love me as I am The way I love the way I love

Continue to repeat badly I love you Oh and regret it again

I don’t want you to open your eyes to this kind of danger

My poison grows into a deep painful night Why does my heart deny the truth?

Get out of my mind I can’t handle it, I’m afraid of myself

The truth has me tied up My heart is tainted I’m afraid it’ll eventually change you too

I’m too afraid to break it off, so I lie again

Even my memories are becoming tainted

Please baby you have to get away from me

Someone tell me what should I do

You must erase your memories of me, I’m poison I know I can’t take it no more

Though I couldn’t get past this, love me as I am The way I love the way I love

The way I love the way I love

Repeating the same words

My lyrics can’t go beyond you

Someday someday

This is love, consuming all of me

All of my fears, my inner scars

Even if you hurt me everyday

The way I love the way I love

The way I love the way I love
