[English]

You left your ghost behind my door.

I know that you don't want me back.

Your memory haunts me.

Can lovers ever last?

I know you wanna see me falling out,

falling out the window.

I know you wanna see me crashing down,

crashing with my plane.

Baby, I'm way too young to die,

but I'll help you get over me.

I broke many hearts throughout my days.

Yours was the hardest one to face.

Though I've never been a saint,

I still love you everyday,

just not the lover kind of way.

I know it's somewhere in me down.

This won't be easy on you now.

You could cry and you could grieve,

then you would get over me.

And you turn your life around, 'cause

I know you wanna see me falling out,

falling out the window.

I know you wanna see me crashing down,

crashing with my plane.

Baby, I'm way too young to die,

but I'll help you get over me.

(I'll help you hate me. Oh, oh!)

(You hate me.)

I know you wanna see me falling out,

falling out the window.

I know you wanna see me crashing down,

crashing with my plane.

Baby, I'm way too young to die,

but I'll help you get over me.

(I'll help you hate me. Oh, oh!)

(You hate me.)

I'll eat fast food every night.

Though I'm not easy on the eyes,

yeah.

I changed my profile picture too,

I took an ugly one for you

to help you say goodbye.

To help you let go,

I'll wear the T-shirt you hate.

Let my hair grow,

not in the good kind of way.

I stay at home,

make sure you never see me smile

again, 'cause

I know you wanna see me falling out,

falling out the window.

I know you wanna see me crashing down,

crashing with my plane.

Baby, I'm way too young to die,

but I'll help you get over me.

(I'll help you hate me. Oh, oh!)

(You hate me.)

I know you wanna see me falling out,

falling out the window.

I know you wanna see me crashing down,

crashing with my plane.

Baby, I'm way too young to die,

but I'll help you get over me.

(I'll help you hate me. Oh, oh!)

(You hate me.)

Yeah!

I'm helping you hate me,

but I can't let you break all my bones.

Baby, I'm way too young to die,

but I'll help you get over me.

(I'll help you hate me. Oh, oh!)

(You hate me.)
