[English]

I sip it in the way he likes, ruby red, locking eyes

Lipstick kisses with no ice, on the edge, paradise

'Cause you walked in, big-ass grin, talkin' like we're friends

Honey, what were you thinkin'? He loves me, I love him

Look at you, just look at you now

You're so embarrassing, go cry when no one's watchin'

I can't imagine it, how does it feel to be forgotten (ah), be forgotten? Ah-ah

How does it feel? I hope one day you heal

How does it feel to be forgotten? Forgotten

I know it must be difficult, I know that it is not what you thought, no

'Cause you walked in, big-ass grin, talkin' like we're friends

Honey, what were you thinkin'? He loves me, I love him

Look at you, just look at you now

You're so embarrassing, go cry when no one's watchin'

I can't imagine it, how does it feel to be forgotten (ah), be forgotten? Ah-ah

How does it feel? I hope one day you heal

How does it feel to be forgotten? Forgotten

Ahora todo está dicho y hecho, todo está olvidado
