[English]

We fight every day and night.

You want me to make the time.

You always get mad and say what you coulda had.

And that you want me to make it right, uh.

I couldn't do that to save my life.

You always tell me you ain't surprised.

You said it's the last time, I guess that you were right.

'Cause I'm not the one with you tonight.

And now I'm so sick of these love songs, so sad and slow.

And I'm so sick of wishin',

I had you on my own.

And oh, baby, I've been fucked up,

ever since you've been gone.

I can't bring myself to even pick up my phone.

I need you the most.

I need you the most.

I need you the most.

I need you the most,

I need you the most.

I ain't gon' lie, oh, baby I've been fucked up.

I said I was sorry for all of the times I fucked up, fuck love.

Got me thinkin' while I pour my cup up.

Tonight is in memory of you, I'm gettin' fucked up.

Oh, just one more chance to make it right.

Promise I got you, so tell me what's up?

I don't think that I can keep goin' this way.

I can't take it.

Now I'm so sick of these love songs, so sad and slow.

And I'm so sick of wishin',

I had you on my own.

And oh, baby, I've been fucked up,

ever since you've been gone.

I can't bring myself to even pick up my phone.

I need you the most.

I need you the most.

I need you the most.

I need you the most.

I need you the most.
