[English]

It never fades away, it's stayin'

Your kiss like broken glass on my skin

And all the greatest loves end in violence

It's tearing up my voice, left in silence

Baby it hit so hard

I'm holding onto my chest

Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget

It doesn't matter where you are

You can keep my regret

Baby I got these scars

Reminding me to forget

Reminding me, I got these, scars

To forget your love

Keep reminding me, oh

To forget your love

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark

Reminding me to forget

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark (Under my skin)

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark

Reminding me to forget

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark (Under my skin)

There's no room in walls for feelings

Hurt me to the core, still healing

And I know you're no good for me

So I try to forget, the memories

'Cause baby it hit so hard

I'm holding on to my chest

Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget

It doesn't matter where you are, you can keep my regret

Baby, I got these scars, reminding me to forget

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark, reminding me to forget

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark (Under my skin)

Remember, I told you

To save it, it's over

And I'll be alright

So hurt me as much as you like

I need you, to let go

Forgot these mementos

But I'll be alright, girl

Baby it hit so hard, I'm holding onto my chest

Maybe you left your mark

Reminding me to forget

It doesn't matter where you are

You can keep my regrets

'Cause baby I got these scars, reminding me to forget

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark, reminding me to forget

You left your burn (In my heart)

You left your mark, reminding me to forget
