[English]

Running around all day, and you're nagging again

Missed calls, unpaid bills

Even your boss isn't as unprofessional as you

Breaking up feels guilt-free

Even the most beautiful flowers wilt

Your cute face, I can't stand to look at it anymore

Yeah, one last thing

That hoodie you love

I'm leaving that to you

Yeah, keep that ring

Get the hell out of my life

Yeah, maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Yeah

I don't want to hear your nonsense

That nonsense

Yeah

Take back your true feelings

No turning back

All shattered

Yeah, maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Just break up

Every word you say

I know, I know

Heard it a thousand times

I understand it all

Always said it's the end

But I can't

It's my fault for being stubborn

It's my cowardice

Yeah

You love to assume we're breaking up

Thinking the next one will be better than me

Stop joking around

The love bus is speeding down the highway

You want to get off midway

Jump quickly if you want

I'm posting about it everywhere

I get what you're saying

But you won't break up, yeah

Huh

And then there's a black background with all the drama

Lifting you too high

Making you feel superior

Just blame it on me

Yeah, one last thing

That hoodie you love

I'm leaving that to you

Yeah, keep that ring

Get the hell out of my life

Yeah, maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Yeah

I don't want to hear your nonsense again

That nonsense

Yeah

Take back your true feelings

No turning back

All shattered

Yeah, maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Just break up

I guess this is really the end

You’re testing my limits

Crying alone in my bed

No matter how sad I am, it passes in a few days

Yeah, this is the last time

This is my decision

Goodbye, you explosive bomb

I'm thinking maybe

Yeah, maybe we should just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

Yeah

Whatever you want, I’ll go along with it

I'll go along with everything

Yeah

If makeup sex is all we need

That’s okay

Yeah, maybe we should just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

Yeah, maybe we should just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

Just forgive each other

[Chinese]

忙整天又被你碎嘴

電話沒接沒繳電費

主管都沒你這副德性

分手說得問心無愧

再美的花都枯萎

你可愛的臉也越看越噁心

Yeah one last thing

你愛的hoodie

這就留給你

Yeah keep that ring

Get the f**k out of my life

Yeah maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Yeah

不想聽你在那鬼扯

那鬼扯

Yeah

把真心回收

不回頭

都粉碎

Yeah maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Just break up

Every word that you say

I know I know

聽過萬遍

我全都懂

always said it’s the end

but then i can’t

是我犯賤

是我沒種

Yeah

你愛做分手的假設

下個會比我更好

別說笑了

戀愛巴士開在高速公路

你想中途下車

要跳快點跳

我要po到霸社

說的道理我都懂

你又不分手 yeah

Huh

卻發黑底圖灑狗血

把你捧太高

讓你產生優越

Just blame on me

Yeah one last thing

你愛的hoodie

這就留給你

Yeah keep that ring

Get the f**k out of my life

Yeah maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Yeah

不想聽你在那鬼扯

那鬼扯

Yeah

把真心回收

不回頭

都粉碎

Yeah maybe we should just break up

Just break up

Just break up

I guess it’s really the end

是你在挑戰底線

Crying alone in my bed

再難過也沒幾天

yeah it’s the last time

就是我的答案

Good bye 你這顆炸彈

I’m thinking maybe

Yeah maybe we should just make up

Just make up

Yeah

你想怎樣我都配合

都配合

Yeah

If make up sex is all we need

That’s okay

Yeah maybe we should just make up

Just make up

Just make up

Just make up

Just make up

Yeah maybe we should just make up

Just make up
