[English]

I blame you

I’m hating the memories with you again

After losing you

Everything is meaningless to me

I don’t miss you

Don’t want to see you, I

The love you gave me (You)

I don’t want to remember it

Really I loved you

I just loved you too much

That I can’t forget about you even though I want to

That’s why I want to forget about you

Truly I loved you

It’s hard as much as I loved you

Though I want to hate you

I hate you more because I can’t hate you

I know

What I’m saying right now

It makes me sound like a fool

It doesn’t make any sense at all

I know

After you left me

From the moment

My world has already

Stopped

It has ended

Oh

Really I loved you

I just loved you too much

That I can’t forget about you even though I want to

That’s why I want to forget about you

Truly I loved you

It’s hard as much as I loved you

Though I want to hate you

I hate you more because I can’t hate you

Even though I

Try so hard to

Erase you from my heart

I can’t, I know yeah

The fact that

You won’t be erased

From my heart

You won’t be, I know

Loved you

Though I want to forget about you, I can’t,

That’s why I want to forget about you

Truly I loved you

It’s hard as much as I loved you

Though I want to hate you, I can’t

That’s why I hate you more
