[English]

I'll be honest

I'm alright with me

Sunday mornings

In my own bedsheets

I'll be waking up alone,

I haven't thought of her for days

But I'll be honest

It's better off this way

Every time I think that I can get you out my head

You never ever let me forget, 'cause

Just when I think you're gone, hear our song on the radio

Just like that, takes me back to the places we used to go

And I've been trying, but I just can't fight it

When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling

And I remember you're gone, baby, it's just a song on the radio

That we used to love

I'll be honest

I'm alright with me

Sunday mornings

In my own white tee

I've been waking up alone,

I haven't thought of him for days

I'll be honest

It's better off this way

Every time I think that I can get you out my head

You never ever let me forget, 'cause

Just when I think you're gone, hear our song on the radio

Just like that, takes me back to the places we used to go

And I've been trying, but I just can't fight it

When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling

And I remember you're gone, baby, it's just a song on the radio

That we used to love

Just when I think you're gone, hear our song on the radio

Just like that, takes me back to the places we used to go

And I've been trying, but I just can't fight it

When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling

I remember you're gone, baby, it's just a song on the radio

And I've been trying, but I just can't fight it

When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling

And I remember you're gone, baby, it's just a song on the radio

That we used to love
