[English]

Don't tell me

If you're leavin' in the mornin'

I don't wanna have a warnin'

If you're not here

Just take me

Please take me for the last time

'Cause baby now is not the right time

For us to be scared

Yes, I know I wasn't perfect

When we fought and cried all those nights

But the passion that we have is too strong

To give up the fight

So I need you to say it

If you really want to let me go

'Cause I don't believe, you know I don't

Won't you tell me the truth?

Yes, I need you to say it

If you really want this love to end

Look me in the eyes and don't pretend

That what we have is through

Don't tell me

If there's someone else inside you

Doin' all the things that I do

'Cause I don't want to hear it

Just take me

Don't wanna feel no more resistance

No, we don't have to go the distance

'Cause we're already there

Yes, I know I wasn't perfect

When I ran and lied all those times

But the passion that we have is too strong

To give up the fight

So I need you to say it

If you really want to let me go

'Cause I don't believe, you know I don't

Won't you tell me the truth?

Yes, I need you to say it

If you really want this love to end

Look me in the eye, you can't pretend

That what we have is through

...

All those times we fought

That made you cry

I'm sorry

So I need you to say it

If you really wanna let me go

'Cause I don't believe, you know I don't

Won't you tell me the truth?

Yes, I need you to say it

If you really want this love to end

Look me in the eye, you can't pretend

That what we have is through

So I need you to say it

(I want you to say it)

If you really want to let me go

(I beg you to say it)

Cause I don't believe you know I don't

(I need you to say it)

Won't you tell me the truth

Yes, I need you to say it

(I want you to say it)

If you really want this love to end

(I need you to say it)

Look me in the eye, you can't pretend

That what we have is through
