Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You, you know that I've done bad things

In my didn't-know-a-thing phase

I'm not sure sometimes that I've changed and

You know all that, still you stay

I don't know if I'm deserving

Of how unconditionally

You just love me and accept me, yeah

You know all that, still you stay

Any reasonable person would've left by now

But you, you're holding me after everything you found out

Oh oh oh oh oh

You saw my wild ways

Stuck around through my ugly days

I know you mean everything you say

So, why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

You saw my wild ways

Stuck around through my ugly days

I know you mean everything you say

So, why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

Why do I feel like I'm fooling?

Seems I might've kicked the habit of

Not letting in the magic

Because, after all, we have this, yeah

Yeah yeah, you are loving me

I, I know it isn't easy when

The weakest part of me

Preys on the good that you and me made, oh

But here you are, still you stay

Any reasonable person would've left by now

But you, you're holding me after everything you found out

Oh oh oh oh oh

You saw my wild ways

Stuck around through my ugly days

I know you mean everything you say

So, why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

You saw my wild ways

Stuck around through my ugly days

I know you mean everything you say

So, why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, I feel like I'm fooling you

Or maybe it's just hard for me to see

Yeah, all the good you say you see in me

And I wish I, oh, I wish I could believe it, too

But, I feel like I'm fooling you

Why do I feel like I'm fooling?

Why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

Oh oh oh oh oh, you saw my wild ways

Stuck around through my ugly days

I know you mean everything you say

So, why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

You saw my wild ways

Stuck around through my ugly days

I know you mean everything you say

So, why do I feel like I'm fooling you?

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Feel like I'm fooling you

I feel like I'm fooling you
