Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Close

Sharing our drinks

And our clothes

I hate to admit

It was not that serious

You're delirious, oh

Fall

Walks in the park

Always call

But you're reading into

Something different

Think you're missing it all, ah-ah-ah

Guess I understand

That's just how you feel

I ruined your plans

But you're leaving me no way out

You're making me let you down

God you're so unfair

You know how I feel

You ruined it all

And you're leaving me no way out

You're making me let you down

Let you down

Ah-ah, ah-ah, let you down

You're making me let you down

Strange

Things didn't need to have changed

But you put yourself first

I don't wish you the worst

But it's still gonna hurt all the same

Oh, why does it end the same way every time

Oh, it's such a shame that the innocent things

Always lead to such painful goodbyes (ah-ah-ah)

I guess I understand

That's just how you feel

I ruined your plans

But you're leaving me no way out

You're making me let you down (oh-oh)

God you're so unfair

You know how I feel

You ruined it all

And you're leaving me no way out

You're making me let you down

Let you down

And there goes what I wanted

And there goes what we had

You took the key and tossed it

You're locked into my past

I gave you all the warnings

And honestly, I'm glad

'Cause right now I know better

(And I guess I understand)

Guess I understand

That's just how you feel

I ruined your plans

But you're leaving me no way out

I don't want to let you down
