[English]

Let's just split the cost

And say it's both our fault

I tried to find my point

And somewhere I got lost

Looking for myself, I found someone I'm not

Or someone I once was, someone I forgot

Yeah, but everybody needs somebody sometime

And a little me time in the meantime

I'm just tryna be free in my free time

Yeah, yeah

I really hope you can see where I come from

And maybe you can come through when it come time

Don't you worry 'bout a thing it's all alright

Yeah

Been dodging, tryna find you

I'm done hiding from the truth

Yeah

Yeah, dodging to who's inside me

Someone I'm zoned for

Trust me I miss you too

But I miss me

I miss me

I miss me, girl

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me, girl

Though we still got love

What's love without trust

I've been by your side

But I guess gave you too much (way too much)

Friends say I've been low

Hate that they playing you up

I gotta move on

I know what you on

We been on a different way

So I gotta give you your space

Lately I been reading other signs

And we been on a different page

Before we say goodbye

Know that I tried for you

Oh, I tried for you

I've been tryna find him

I'm done hiding from the truth

Loving true who's inside me

Someone I long for

Trust me I miss you too

But I miss me

I miss me

I miss me, girl

...

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me, girl

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me

But I miss me

I miss me

I miss me, girl

I miss me

I miss me

I miss me, girl

...
