Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Feelings fade when people change

I stayed the same

You played your games

And now we're left with nothing (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm not okay, but it's okay

Don't walk away

I'll take the blame

Before we're left with nothing (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Don't know if I'll be fine without you

I hope I'll be alright without you

I'm tired of fake people, fake smiles, fake hugs

Fake hope, fake friends, fake love

'Cause fake friends are a real waste of time

And fake love is real waste of life

So don't you go texting me, telling me

Wish you were next to me

Rest in peace

Everything's ending eventually

Best friends can become your enemies (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Do we have to talk about it?

You know how I make you feel, right?

You know I'd be lost without you

I never felt something so real, right?

Remember when we ran through all the fountains

In downtown that one night?

Now I'm runnin' away

From the one that I thought was the one, right, 'cause

Feelings fade when people change

I stayed the same

You played your games

And now we're left with nothing (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm not okay, but it's okay

Don't walk away

I'll take the blame

Before we're left with nothing (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Don't know if I'll be fine without you

I hope I'll be alright without you

I'm tired of secrets, lies, excuses

Holding back, the truth is-

I act like I don't care, but I wish you did

You used to make me smile, now you make me sick

I wish I didn't waste my time

I wish you didn't change my mind

Do we have to talk about it?

You know how I make you feel, right?

You know I'd be lost without you

I never felt somethin' so real, right?

Remember when we ran through all the lights

In downtown that one night?

Now you runnin' away

From the one that I thought was the one, right, 'cause

Feelings fade when people change

I stayed the same

You played your games

And now we're left with nothing (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm not okay, but it's okay

Don't walk away

I'll take the blame

Before we're left with nothing (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Don't know if I'll be fine without you

I hope I'll be alright without you

(Ahh man)

I hope our feelings don't fade

I know we know we need space

I'm sorry, I know it's late

But I've got something to say

It's gonna be okay, okay tonight

It's gonna be okay, okay

It's gonna be okay, okay tonight

'Cause tomorrow's just a dream away

It's gonna be okay, okay tonight

It's gonna be okay, okay

It's gonna be okay, okay tonight

'Cause tomorrow's just a dream away, yeah
