It's sadistic, masochistic
00:03
Oh, I do it to myself
00:06
Guess I'm addicted, I predicted
00:08
That you'd break me, I could tell
00:10
By the color of your lipstick
00:12
By the way your perfume smelled
00:14
By the way you'd say my name
00:17
I knew one day you'd say "farewell"
00:19
But I fell for you
00:21
Even though I knew
00:23
It would ruin me completely
00:25
Wish it wasn't true
00:30
But that's what I do
00:32
I love the ones who leave me
00:34
I love the ones who leave me
00:38
The ones who walk away
00:40
The ones who didn't need me
00:43
Never loved me anyway
00:44
I love the ones who leave me
00:47
The ones who never cared
00:49
The ones who deceive me
00:51
I love the ones, love the ones
00:54
Love the ones who leave me
00:56
Fatalistic, the statistics
01:01
Told me I'd do it again
01:03
Like addiction, my prediction
01:05
Was you'd break me, knew it then
01:08
By the color of your lipstick
01:10
By the messages you'd send
01:12
By the way you'd say my name
01:15
I knew one day you'd say "the end"
01:16
But I fell for you
01:19
Even though I knew
01:21
It would ruin me completely
01:23
Wish it wasn't true
01:27
But that's what I do
01:30
I love the ones who leave me
01:32
I love the ones who leave me
01:36
The ones who walk away
01:38
The ones who didn't need me
01:40
Never loved me anyway
01:42
I love the ones who leave me
01:45
The ones who never cared
01:47
The ones who deceive me
01:49
I love the ones, love the ones
01:51
Love the ones who leave me
01:54
Like a moth drawn to a flame
01:59
I can't seem to stay away
02:03
Only have myself to blame
02:05
Wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)
02:07
Wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)
02:11
But I love the ones who leave me
02:16
Like a moth drawn to a flame
02:18
I can't seem to stay away
02:20
Only have myself to blame
02:22
Wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)
02:25
I wish I loved the ones who stayed, na-na (Na-na)
02:29
I love the ones who leave me
02:33

[English]
It's sadistic, masochisticOh, 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
