[English]

I just need someone in my life to give it structure

To handle all the selfish ways I'd spend my time without her

You're everything I want, but I can't deal with all your lovers

Saying I'm the one, but it's your actions that speak louder

Giving me love when you are down and need another

I've got to get away and let you go, I've got to get over

But I love you so I love you so

I love you so I love you so

I'm gonna pack my things and leave you behind This feeling's old and I know that I've made up my mind

I hope you feel what I felt when you shattered my soul 'Cause you were cruel and I'm a fool

So please let me go

But I love you so (please let me go) I love you so (please let me go)

I love you so (please let me go) I love you so
