[English]

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Did you miss me? I like to pretend you did

Was crying lately, I know you can picture it

All our memories safe in my locket, I carry it

I know I missed you, I'm not gonna lie 'bout that

I had to leave you be and see how I felt 'bout that

If you don't hear from me, it don't mean I loved you less

Had to get this off my chest

I've been searching, but the answer's right in front of me (of me)

My protection's so divine, and now I see (I see)

Pain on a necklace, set it down, I'm weightless

Everything that I could ever need is within me
