[English]

Enviyon on the mix (on the mix)

Uhm-uhm-mm, ah

No, no, no, no (no, no)

No-no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no (no, no)

I still see your shadows in my room

Can't take back the love that I gave you

It's to the point where I love and I hate you

And I cannot change you, so I must replace you, oh

Easier said than done, I thought you were the one

Listenin' to my heart instead of my head (of my head)

You found another one, but I am the better one

I won't let you forget me (let you forget me)

I still see your shadows in my room

Can't take back the love that I gave you

It's to the point where I love and I hate you

And I cannot change you, so I must replace you, oh

Easier said than done, I thought you were the one

Listenin' to my heart instead of my head (of my head)

You found another one, but I am the better one

I won't let you forget me (let you forget me)

You left me falling and landing inside my grave

I know that you want me dead, ah

I take- to make me feel a-okay

I know it's all in my head

I have these lucid dreams where I can't move a thing

Thinking of you in my bed

You were my everything, thoughts of a wedding ring

Now I'm just better off- (uh, uh, uh)

I'll do it over again, I didn't want it to end

I watch it blow in the wind, I should've listened to my friends

Leave this- in the past, but I want it to last

You were made outta plastic fake

I was tangled up in your drastic ways

Who knew evil girls have the prettiest face?

You gave me a heart that was full of mistakes

I gave you my heart and you made heartbreak

You made my heart break

You made my heart ache (I still see the shadows in my room)

You made my heart break

You made my heart ache (can't take back the love that I gave you)

You made my heart break (were made outta plastic fake)

You made my heart ache (I still see the shadows in my room)

You made my heart break again (I was tangled up in your drastic ways)

(Who knew evil girls have the prettiest face?)

I still see your shadows in my room

Can't take back the love that I gave you

It's to the point where I love and I hate you

And I cannot change you, so I must replace you, oh

Easier said than done, I thought you were the one

Listenin' to my heart instead of my head (of my head)

You found another one, but I am the better one

I won't let you forget me (let you forget me)

I still see your shadows in my room

Can't take back the love that I gave you

It's to the point where I love and I hate you

And I cannot change you, so I must replace you, oh

Easier said than done, I thought you were the one

Listenin' to my heart instead of my head (of my head)

You found another one, but I am the better one

I won't let you forget me (you forget me, forget me)

(Leave this shit in the past but I want it to last)

(You were made outta plastic fake)

(I was tangled up in your drastic ways)

(Who knew evil girls have the prettiest face?)

(Easier said than done, I thought you were, thought you were, thought you were)

(Instead of my head, you found ano-, found ano-, found ano-, better one)

(I won't let you forget me, forget me, forget me, forget me, forget me)

• Can't take back the love that I gave you

  ➔ Relative Clause with a zero relative pronoun

  ➔ The clause "that I gave you" modifies "the love". The relative pronoun "that" (or "which") is omitted because it is the object of the verb "gave".

• You left me falling and landing inside my grave

  ➔ Gerunds after verbs of perception (falling and landing)
