[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 everyday

(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

There's a girl but I let her get away

Its 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

There's 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 everyday

(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

No home for me

No home cause I'm broken

No room to breathe

And I got no one to blame

No home for me

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 everyday

(Don't you know)

No no no no

There's no home for the broken heart

(Don't you know)

No no no no

Theres 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

You don't wanna lose that love

Cause there's no hope for the broken heart

About that girl

The one I let get away
