[English]

How many times have I lost myself?

How many times have I hurt myself?

I always choose love

And I get hurt

I like to hurt myself

I learn, then I always make the same mistake again

I fool myself so easily

But what a fool!

A masochist of love

In romance, a nightmare

It’s never works out

It never works out for me

It’s just that love hurts too much

Nobody warned me

That the heart would hurt so much

It hurt so much

It’s just that love hurts too much

Nobody warned me

That the heart would hurt so much

It hurt so much, oh

How many times have I given myself away

To the wrong person? I know!

That I keep on making the same mistake

Getting hurt

It seems I like suffering

My eyes burn from so much crying

I fool myself so easily

But what a fool!

A masochist of love

In romance, a nightmare

It’s never works out

It never works out for me

It’s just that love hurts too much

Nobody warned me

That the heart would hurt so much

It hurt so much

It’s just that love hurts too much

Nobody warned me

That the heart would hurt so much

It hurt so much

Love hurts, and everyone does

Turns my heart into a toy

Uoh, oh, uoh, oh

I swear, I’ll try to be better

I want to find true love

Uoh, oh

Love hurts too much, right?

Love hurts too much

Nobody warned me

That the heart would hurt so much

It hurt so much

Love hurts too much

Nobody warned me

That the heart would hurt so much

It hurt so much

Love hurts so much (love hurts)

Nobody warned me (nobody warned me)

That the heart would hurt so much (hurt so much)

It hurt so much

Love hurts so much (love hurts)

Nobody warned me (nobody warned me)

That the heart would hurt so much (hurt so much)

It hurt so much

[Portuguese]

Quantas vezes me perdi?

Quantas vezes machuquei-me?

Escolho sempre o amor

E me ferro

Eu gosto de me ferir

Aprendo, depois sempre erro de novo

Me iludo tão fácil

Mas que bobo!

Masoquista do amor

No romance, um terror

Nunca dá certo

Comigo nunca dá certo

É que o amor machuca demais

Ninguém me avisou

Que o coração doía tanto

Doía tanto

É que o amor machuca demais

Ninguém me avisou

Que o coração doía tanto

Doía tanto, oh

Quantas vezes me entreguei

Pra pessoa errada? Eu sei!

Que continuo errando

Me ferrando

Parece que eu gosto de sofrer

Meus olhos ardem de tanto choro

Me iludo tão fácil

Mas que bobo!

Masoquista do amor

No romance, um terror

Nunca dá certo

Comigo nunca dá certo

É que o amor machuca demais

Ninguém me avisou

Que o coração doía tanto

Doía tanto

É que o amor machuca demais

Ninguém me avisou

Que o coração doía tanto

Doía tanto

O amor machuca, e todo mundo faz

Do meu coração um brinquedo

Uoh, oh, uoh, oh

Juro, vou tentar ser melhor

Quero encontrar o amor verdadeiro

Uoh, oh

O amor machuca demais, né?

O amor machuca demais

Ninguém me avisou

Que o coração doía tanto

Doía tanto

O amor machuca demais

Ninguém me avisou

Que o coração doía tanto

Doía tanto

O amor machuca demais (o amor machuca)

Ninguém me avisou (ninguém me avisou)

Que o coração doía tanto (doía tanto)

Doía tanto

O amor machuca demais (o amor machuca)

Ninguém me avisou (ninguém me avisou)

Que o coração doía tanto (doía tanto)

Doía tanto
