[English]

It was a lie, and I believed you; it was the biggest lie I ever lived.

That I would forget you, and since then I haven't been able to forget.

I'm defying the past by laughing and saying 'it's okay, it's okay'.

But it seems it was all for nothing, I just realized now.

How are you doing since we separated, if you still miss me like I miss you?

Let's be together for the rest of our lives.

You're still on my mind, if you were here in front of me right now,

You'd see my current state: I'm missing you like crazy.

How are you doing since we separated, if you still miss me like I miss you?

Let's be together for the rest of our lives.

Believe me, if I could bring back what was, little by little,

And hold you close like before, I have to say now:

This is the truth: I miss you every minute.

Is it possible there's a way for us to get back together, is it?

How are you doing since we separated, if you still miss me like I miss you?

Let's be together for the rest of our lives.

You're still on my mind, if you were here in front of me right now,

You'd see my current state: I'm missing you like crazy.

How are you doing since we separated, if you still miss me like I miss you?

Let's be together for the rest of our lives.

You're still on my mind, if you were here in front of me right now,

You'd see my current state: I'm missing you like crazy.
