I don't love you anymore, my love

I don't love you anymore every day

Sometimes I wish I could die to never see you again

I don't love you anymore every day

Sometimes I wish I could die so much there's no more hope

Sometimes I wish I could die to never see you again

Sometimes I wish I could die to know nothing anymore

I don't love you anymore, my love (every day)

I don't love you anymore, my love

I don't love you anymore every day

I don't love you anymore, my love

I don't love you anymore every day

I don't love you anymore, my love

I don't love you anymore every day

I don't love you anymore, my love

I don't love you anymore, my love (every day)
