Stop, man! Just go to hell!

[door slamming, engine starting]

Damn it!

♪Even with both my hands — holding you, I will lose you♪

[electric guitar]

♪If you say goodbye — with an I love you♪

♪Say it in the bathroom — so the echo lasts longer♪

♪So all your friends and — my buddies don't see me crying♪

♪Oh, oh♪

♪I know that over time —♪

♪You’ll forget about me — little by little♪

[tuba, guitar]

♪I'm getting ready — for a reunion♪

♪I know it will — never happen♪

♪I'm lying to myself♪

♪Oh, what a sad story of mine♪

♪Happiness — can't be bought with money♪

♪Tell me what to do, My God♪ - ♪Oh, my God♪

♪Yesterday, you started crying — when you told me♪

♪That we no longer kiss♪

♪I cried a river for you♪

♪And how long has it been — since we went on a date?♪

♪Just the two of us alone — without your friends coming over♪

♪I didn’t need to look at the menu before♪

♪Because I knew what — you wanted to eat before you did♪

♪Yesterday, I started crying — when you told me♪

♪That we no longer love each other♪
