[English]

Girl, tell me what you're doing on the other side

And tell, just tell me what you're doing with that other guy

'Cause I ain't got patience to slow down the pace

All your girlfriends are wasted

They need it, they chase it

Face it, you want it, you crave it

Believe when I say that you'll know once you taste it

All of your friends have been here for too long

They must be waiting for you to move on

Girl, I'm not with it, I'm way too far gone

I'm not ready, eyes heavy now

Heart on your sleeve like you've never been loved

Running in circles, now look what you've done

Give you my word as you take it and run

Wish you'd let me stay, I'm ready now

Just give me some time and space to realize

That you, were busy lying, sleeping 'round with other guys

And what the hell were we?

Tell me we weren't just friends

This doesn't make much sense, no

But I'm not hurt, I'm tense

'Cause I'll be fine without you, babe

All of your friends have been here for too long

They must be waiting for you to move on

Girl, I'm not with it, I'm way too far gone

I'm not ready, eyes heavy now

Heart on your sleeve like you've never been loved

Running in circles, now look what you've done

Give you my word as you take it and run

Wish you'd let me stay, I'm ready now

Wish you'd let me stay, I'm ready now

I'm not ready, eyes heavy now

All of your friends have been here for too long

They must be waiting for you to move on

Girl, I'm not with it, I'm way too far gone

I'm not ready, eyes heavy now

Heart on your sleeve like you've never been loved

Running in circles, now look what you've done

Give you my word as you take it and run

Wish you'd let me stay, I'm ready now

I'm not ready, eyes heavy now

Wish you'd let me stay, I'm ready now

I'm not ready, eyes heavy now

Wish you'd let me stay, I'm ready now
