[English]

So I met this girl when I was 20 years old

And it was an instant connection between us two

She was very affectionate, loving, kind, caring

Everything that you could dream of

And we ended up moving in together

She proposed to me, gave me a ring

She introduced me to her best friend

We went out together one night, and we ended up sleeping together

And it crushed her

And when it hurt her, it hurt me

She told me it was over, she asked for her ring back

I think I had a nervous breakdown, child, I was crying

And I never felt that type of pain before

Because it was always me being the one that was cheated on

And in turn, I caused that same type of pain

To someone that I was madly in love with

Having lost her at that time, it felt like a death to me

I can't give you an explanation as to why I did it

'Cause I, I really don't know

But I fucked up, I fucked that up

And I can admit that
