[English]

I wish you the best for the rest of your life

Felt sorry for you when I looked in your eyes

But I need to confess, I told you a lie

I said you, you

Were the love of my life

The love of my life

Did I break your heart?

Did I waste your time?

I tried to be there for you

Then you tried to break mine

It isn't asking for a lot for an apology

For making me feel like it killed you if I tried to leave

You said you'd never fall in love again because of me

Then you moved on, immediately

But I wish you the best for the rest of your life

Felt sorry for you when I looked in your eyes

But I need to confess, I told you a lie

When I said you (I said you), you

Were the love of my life

The love of my life

So you found her, now go fall in love

Just like we were, if I ever was

It's not my fault, I did what I could

You made it so hard, like I knew you would

Thought I was depressed or losing my mind

My stomach upset almost all of the time

But after I left, it was obvious why (ooh), mm

Because for you, you

I was the love of your life, mm

But you were not mine (ooh)

It isn't asking for a lot for an apology

For making me feel like it killed you if I tried to leave

You said you'd never fall in love again because of me

Then you moved on, then you moved on

Then you moved on, then you moved on

Then you moved on, then you moved on

...

Ooh

You wanted to keep it, like something you found

'Til you didn't need it

But you should've seen it, the way it went down

Wouldn't believe it

Wanna know what I told her, with her hand on my shoulder?

You were so mediocre

And we're so glad it's over now

It's over now

...

It's over now

It's over now

Camera, caught on camera

The girl's on camera

Your girl's a fan of-

You miss me, say you miss me

It's such a pity

We're both so pretty

...
