[English]

It's you

it's always you

If I'm ever gonna fall in love

I know it's gonna be you

It's you

it's always you

Met a lot of people

but nobody feels like you

So, please don't break my heart

Don't tear me apart

I know how it starts

Trust me, I've been broken before

Don't break me again

I am delicate

Please, don't break my heart

Trust me, I've been broken before

I've been broken

Yeah, I know how it feels

To be open

and then find out your love isn't real

I'm still hurting

Yeah, I'm hurting inside

I'm so scared to fall in love

But if it's you, then I'll try

It's you

it's always you

If I'm ever gonna fall in love

I know it's gonna be you

It's you

it's always you

Met a lot of people

but nobody feels like you

So, please don't break my heart

Don't tear me apart

I know how it starts

Trust me, I've been broken before

Don't break me again

I am delicate

Please, don't break my heart

Trust me, I've been broken before

I know I'm not the best

at choosing lovers

We both know my past speaks for itself

If you don't think

that we're right for each other

(Baby, no)

then please, don't let history repeat itself

'Cause I want you

Yeah, I want you

I want you

There's nothing else I want

'Cause I want you

Yeah, I want you

I want you

And you're the only thing I want

It's you

it's always you

If I'm ever gonna fall in love

I know it's gonna be you

It's you

it's always you

Met a lot of people

but nobody feels like you

So, please don't break my heart

Don't tear me apart

I know how it starts

Trust me, I've been broken before

Don't break me again

I am delicate

Please, don't break my heart

Trust me, I've been broken before
