[English]

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone

I crashed my car into the bridge

I watched, I let it burn

I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs

I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it

I don't care

...

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone

I crashed my car into the bridge

I watched, I let it burn

I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs

I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it

I don't care

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way

You want me down on earth, but I am up in space

You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch

You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch

I love it

...

I love it

...

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone

I crashed my car into the bridge

I watched, I let it burn

I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs

I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it

I don't care, I love it, I love it

I don't care, I love it

I don't care

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way

You want me down on earth, but I am up in space

You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch

You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch

I don't care, I love it

I don't care, I love it, I love it

I don't care, I love it

I don't care, I love it, I love it

I don't care

...

I love it

...
