[English]

If you do it’s GOOD, if I do it’s DONE

How can you always say that I’m wrong

You always want to win

Tears are your ultimate weapon

I was attracted to your confidence at first

But every day I went down on my knees

You magnified even my minor mistakes

And pushed me to the edge of the cliff

Well I love you anyway, that’s why I put up with you

Every day every night feel like a fool

You gotta know

Why why why are you always mad mad mad at me

Can we go back to the way we were

If you do it always becomes the right words

If you do I can never win

Suddenly you become a different person

When we get along well I get more nervous

If I do If I do

If I say something you always say let’s break up

So I can’t get any closer

Can’t deepen my love for you

Your major is saying the same thing over and over

You force me to do things to please you

I am tired of these trials with already known results

I’m desperate to break free

To you they’re just friends

To me they’re jerks who could be flirting with you

Another mistake, if you do it’s ok, but if I do huh

I wish you wouldn’t go too far but you just can’t stop

Now I say in my sleep, I’ll be good

When there’s nothing to say you always say, I’m gonna go to bed

Frustrated with no one to talk to

Sometimes I delude myself that I'm trapped

If you do it always becomes the right words

If you do I can never win

Suddenly you become a different person

When we get along well I get more nervous

If I do If I do

If I say something you always say let’s break up

So I can’t get any closer

Can’t deepen my love for you

Every day every night feel like a fool

You gotta know

Why why why are you always mad mad mad at me

Can we go back to the way we were

If you do it always becomes the right words

If you do I can never win

Suddenly you become a different person

When we get along well I get more nervous

If I do If I do

If I say something you always say let’s break up

So I can’t get any closer

Can’t deepen my love for you
