[English]

Oh these times are hard

Yeah they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard

Yeah they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me baby

I'm just out here chasing my dreams girl

But it's crazy cause that dream cost me my dream girl

Promise you I wouldn't change before I left

Now I think leaving is the one thing I regret

Cause the one thing I possessed

It wasn't materials, wasn't checks

Wasn't cars, wasn't clothes

Or any part of success it was you

And without that in my life I'm depressed

You became the new drug I couldn't get

And every time you came over I was on some shit

Either too fucked up or bitchin' on how you dressed

Even though I remember when you would lay with me when I ain't have a bed

Buy me food and come wake me up with some head

Girl you had me like a dread

Locked down but I wouldn't show it

Instead got on that bus and left you blowing in the wind

Shit and it's fucked up

Cause every girl I'm with I see your face

Now summer's here and I'm sitting outside your place singing this shit

Oh these times are hard

Yeah they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me baby

What I gotta do to get you back?

I got to sing to you?

Oh these times are hard

Hard

Yeah they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me baby

Yeah I never thought for a minute

If you show me a picture of my life now that you wouldn't be in it

Took me a couple years to say I love you but I meant it when I said it

Wasn't much of a romantic but you get it

Didn't really smoke but when I rolled it up you hit it

And we lit it up

Shotgun and our kisses

And fuck these other bitches baby fuck these other bitches

In my bunk staring up at all your pictures that you sent me on my birthday

Remember that?

Cause I couldn't forget it

Like I forgot yours but I'm sorry and I said it

I admit it

I fucked up and I lied but this is true

I don't know what home is because I'm lost without you

Just like a favorite song

Yeah Blink 182

Now I just turn it off when it comes on

I wish I hated you

I used to have someone at 3 am that I could call

Now it just rings and I don't get nothing at all

Where you at girl?
