[English]

I told you to move on

And girl, that's what you did

But I'm out doing the same thing

So I can't say anything

I don't even miss you (don't even miss you)

I promise I mean that (mean that)

I don't want you for myself

I don't wanna see you with somebody else

Just before we get back together (together)

Wanted to see you suffer forever (forever)

I hate her and I don't even know her

Don't even know her name

And now I'm sick, sick, sick, sick, sick to my stomach

My head knows you weren't the one I wanted

And fuck, it hurts to know that you're falling

Falling in love before I did

And now I'm drunk, I can't stop myself from crying

My head just forgets all of the fighting

And fuck, it sucks to see that you're trying

Trying again before I did

You're doing the same dance

But with somebody new

You said I'd never move on (I'll never move on)

But it didn't take you that long

And nobody told me

I wish that they would have had (I wish they would have had)

So I didn't have to feel

Like I was the last to know

Just before we get back together (together)

Wanted to see you suffer forever (forever)

I hate her and I don't even know her

Don't even know her name

And now I'm sick, sick, sick, sick, sick to my stomach

My head knows you weren't the one I wanted

And fuck, it hurts to know that you're falling

Falling in love before I did

And now I'm drunk, I can't stop myself from crying

My head just forgets all of the fighting

And fuck, it sucks to see that you're trying

Trying again before I did

I feel so stupid

I told you to do this

My own delusion

Made more sense inside my head

Put myself through it

Now it's me who's foolish

I can't sleep

'Cause I'm the one who made this bed

Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick to my stomach

My head knows you weren't the one I wanted

And fuck, it hurts to know that you're falling

Falling in love before I did

And now I'm drunk, I can't stop myself from crying

My head just forgets all of the fighting

And fuck, it sucks to see that you're trying

Trying again before I did
