[English]

Reflections in the mirror, bathroom light

Both hands on the sink, I'm holding tight

Why are you still glued in my mind?

Silly little me can't win this fight

Even though I know that you're far gone

And instead of maybe moving on

I'm catching these feelings

Holding on to the pieces

It's hitting me hard now that I'm

Dancing with somebody like you

Lose myself in every move

Oh, I hate the things you're making me do

Somebody like you

It hurts like hell

Searching for you with someone else

But I can't help myself, I do

Somebody like you

Looking for your Prius in the parking lot

I know it's not there, but it's all I got

Rain is pouring down, drowning my thoughts

I guess you found yourself another spot

Even though I know that you're far gone

And instead of maybe moving on

I'm catching these feelings

Holding on to the pieces

It's hitting me hard now that I'm

Dancing with somebody like you

Lose myself in every move

Oh, I hate the things you're making me do

Somebody like you

It hurts like hell

Searching for you with someone else

But I can't help myself, I do

Somebody like you

...

Somebody like you

...

(Oh, I hate the things you're making me do)

(Somebody like you)

...
