[English]

Letting and letting, ah

We were really friends

Didn't think about anything else

I liked having someone to call

But I started taking my shirt off and facing the wall

And he said something about it one time

I said, "If you stop drinking maybe I could find you attractive

Maybe I could let you have it"

And it happened (ah)

I asked him why he had these feelings

He said, "Your tits and ass don't really hurt"

And I think he really meant it

And now I'm wondering if I should let him

Letting him in, why don't the good ones love me?

Watching him fall, watching him go right in front of me

Letting him in, why don't the good ones love me?

Watching him fall, watching him go right in front of me

Ah, ah

Ah, ah

I can't tell my sister we're together

She knows about that fight, remember?

You got scared and changed your voice

Turned right from a man into a boy

You turned back, though

Stayed mad, though

'Cause I always go back and forth

A spinal cord, a little pull

It's heroin I'm giving and-

Taking it off

Taking it, taking it off

Taking it, taking it off of the table

Letting him in, why don't the good ones love me?

Watching him fall, watching him go right in front of me

Letting him in, why don't the good ones love me?

Watching him fall, watching him go right in front of me

Ah, ah

Ah, ah (yeah)

Ah, ah

Ah, ah (yeah)
