[English]

Ya, ya, forfeit the game

Before somebody else takes you out of the frame

Puts your name to shame, cover up your face

You can't run the race

The pace is too fast, you just won't last

You love the way I look at you

While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through

You take away if I give in

My life, my pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong

(You like to think you're never wrong)

You have to act like you're someone

(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you

(You want someone to hurt like you)

You want to share what you've been through

You live what you've learned

You love the things I say I'll do

The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you

You take away when I give in

My life, my pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong

(You like to think you're never wrong)

You have to act like you're someone

(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you

(You want someone to hurt like you)

You want to share what you've been through

You live what you've learned

Ya, ya, forfeit the game

Before somebody else takes you out of the frame

Puts your name to shame, cover up your face

You can't run the race

The pace is too fast, you just won't last

Forfeit the game

Before somebody else takes you out of the frame

Puts your name to shame, cover up your face

You can't run the race

The pace is too fast, you just won't last

(You like to think you're never wrong)

(You have to act like you're someone)

(You want someone to hurt like you)

(You want to share what you've been through)

You like to think you're never wrong

(You like to think you're never wrong)

You have to act like you're someone

(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you

(You want someone to hurt like you)

You want to share what you've been through

You live what you've learned
