[English]

Eyes closed wide
I let you in my life
A silly game I stupidly played
I should've known from the start, I was bound to lose

But guess instead I kept running, running back to you
I let you win, now nobody wins
I'm sorry that I met you

I just should've walked away
I'm sorry that I let you
In my life and let you stay
I should've never loved you
You just showed me who you are
If none of this affects you
You're sorrier than me by far
You're so sorry
I believed
When you said to me

You wouldn't do it again
Ooh, but you did
And now I see they were right, I was oh so wrong
And now I'm home alone singing sad love songs
I let you win, ooh, stupid again
And now I'm sorry that I met you
I just should've walked away
I'm sorry that I let you
In my life and let you stay
I should've never loved you
You weren't who you said you are
If none of this affects you
You're sorrier than me by far
I'm sorry that I met you, oh
Oh I just should've walked away
(Yeah I should've walked)
(Yeah I should've walked away)
I'm sorry that I let you
(So sorry, sorry, baby)

In my life and made you stay
How could I ever love you
You showed me who you really are
If none of this affects you (Uh-oh, uh-oh)
You're sorrier than me by far
You're so sorry
