[English]

It's sadistic, masochistic

Oh, I do it to myself

Guess I'm addicted, I predicted

That you'd break me, I could tell

By the color of your lipstick

By the way your perfume smelled

By the way you'd say my name

I knew one day you'd say "farewell"

But I fell for you

Even though I knew

It would ruin me completely

Wish it wasn't true

But that's what I do

I love the ones who leave me

I love the ones who leave me

The ones who walk away

The ones who didn't need me

Never loved me anyway

I love the ones who leave me

The ones who never cared

The ones who deceive me

I love the ones, love the ones

Love the ones who leave me

Fatalistic, the statistics

Told me I'd do it again

Like addiction, my prediction

Was you'd break me, knew it then

By the color of your lipstick

By the messages you'd send

By the way you'd say my name

I knew one day you'd say "the end"

But I fell for you

Even though I knew

It would ruin me completely

Wish it wasn't true

But that's what I do

I love the ones who leave me

I love the ones who leave me

The ones who walk away

The ones who didn't need me

Never loved me anyway

I love the ones who leave me

The ones who never cared

The ones who deceive me

I love the ones, love the ones

Love the ones who leave me

Like a moth drawn to a flame

I can't seem to stay away

Only have myself to blame

Wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)

Wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)

But I love the ones who leave me

Like a moth drawn to a flame

I can't seem to stay away

Only have myself to blame

Wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)

I wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)

I love the ones who leave me
