[English]

Punk star

Yeah, can you just leave me alone?

Since our love is gone

Nothing left to say

Since you walked away

Can you just leave me alone?

Since our love is gone

Nothing left to say

Since you walked away

I've been chasing love around

That I can't seem to find

Nothing but my heart on the ground

Each and every time

So, tell me, babe

Tell me what's the truth, 'cause

Spendin' my time with you

Tell me, babe

Tell me if you love me

When I'm with you, 'cause

I don't wanna play no games

And say no nasty names

I pictured my life with you

And then you changed the frame

(Punk star)

Yeah, can you just leave me alone?

Since our love is gone

Nothing left to say

Since you walked away

Can you just leave me alone?

Since our love is gone

Nothing left to say

Since you walked away

I don't wanna play these games

Saying these nasty names

I've been in a lonely place

I've been having lonely days

Come on, baby, ride the wave

Get the fuck out my face

Baby, I need my space

You know I need my space

I don't wanna play those games

Saying these nasty names

I've been in a lonely place

I've been having lonely days (Punk star)

Yeah, can you just leave me alone? (Leave me alone)

Since our love is gone (our love is gone)

Nothing left to say (nothing left to say)

Since you walked away (she walked away)

Can you just leave me alone? (Just leave me alone)

Since our love is gone (our love is gone)

Nothing left to say (nothing left to say)

Since you walked away

Ah, oh-oh

Since our love is gone

I don't wanna play these games

Saying these nasty names

I've been in a lonely place

I've been in a foreign place

I've been having lonely days, oh-oh-oh

I've been having lonely days, oh-oh-oh

Lonely place

I've been having lonely days

I don't wanna play these games

Yeah
