[English]

Alright need his energy back (It‘s not a want)

Alright I've been missin' you bad (It‘s been too long)

Alright alright I had enough

Enough with this apathy (Apathy, yes)

How long have I gone astray? (I don't see the light)

My passion has died away (Couldn’t even fight)

Oh god please can we just go back

Go back to those brighter days

I wasn't right (Oh) yeah I've been scandalous

I wasn't wise (Oh) such an antagonist

It wasn't nice I know but I learned a lot

Baby, let me handle this again

I need you back (Yeah, yeah)

Never wanted nothin' like I want you tell me you'll be mine

I need you back (Yeah, yeah)

Now is not the time to die I must be alive

Na-na-na-na-na

Now is not the time to die I'm alive

Where have u gone, I'm all alone

Yes I've been, yes I've been here livin' on my own

How can I go on, without u comin' home

I wasn't right (Oh) yeah I've been scandalous

I wasn't wise (Oh) such an antagonist

It wasn't nice I know but I learned a lot

Baby, let me handle this again

Just once again

I need you back, babe (Yeah yeah)

Never wanted nothin like I want you tell me you'll be mine

I need you back (Yeah yeah)

Now is not the time to die I must be alive

Na-na-na-na-na

Now is not the time to die I'm alive

Na-na-na-na-na

Now is not the time to die I'm alive

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Need you back in my life

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Need you back I'm alive (I need you back)
