[English]

There's a girl, but I let her get away

It's all my fault, 'cause pride got in the way

And I'd be lying if I said, I was okay

About that girl, the one I let get away

I keep saying no

This can't be the way it was supposed to be

I keep saying no

There's gotta be a way to get you close to me

Now I know, you gotta speak up if you want somebody

Can't let them get away, oh no

You don't wanna end up sorry

The way that I'm feeling every day

(Don't you know?) No, no, no, no

There's no hope for the broken heart

(Don't you know?) No, no, no, no

There's no hope for the broken

There's a girl, but I let her get away

It's my fault, 'cause I said I needed space

And I've been torturing myself night and day

About that girl, the one I let get away

I keep saying no

This can't be the way it was supposed to be

I keep saying no

There's gotta be a way to get you, gotta be a way to get you close to me

You gotta speak up if you want somebody

Can't let them get away, oh no

You don't wanna end up sorry

The way that I'm feeling every day

(Don't you know?) No, no, no, no

There's no hope for the broken heart

(Don't you know?) No, no, no, no

There's no hope for the broken

No hope for me (no)

No hope 'cause I'm broken

No room to breathe (no)

And I got no one to blame

No home for me (no)

No home 'cause I'm broken

About that girl, the one I let get away

So, you better speak up if you want somebody

You can't let them get away, oh no, no

You don't wanna end up sorry (oh, no)

The way that I'm feeling every day

(Don't you know?) No, no, no, no

There's no home for the broken heart

(Don't you know?) No, no, no, no

There's no home for the broken

Oh, you don't wanna lose that love

It's only gonna hurt too much

(I'm telling you) you don't wanna lose that love

It's only gonna hurt too much

(I'm telling you) you don't wanna lose that love

'Cause there's no home for the broken

About that girl, the one I let get away
