[English]

Baby, won't you tell me why there is sadness in your eyes?

I don't wanna say goodbye to you

Love is one big illusion I should try to forget

But there is something left in my head

You're the one who set it up

Now you're the one to make it stop

I'm the one who's feeling lost right now

Now you want me to forget every little thing you said

But there is something left in my head

I won't forget the way you're kissin'

The feelings so strong were lastin' for so long

But I'm not the man your heart is missin'

That's why you go away, I know

You were never satisfied no matter how I tried

Now you wanna say goodbye to me

Love is one big illusion I should try to forget

But there is something left in my head

I won't forget the way you're kissin'

The feelings so strong were lastin' for so long

But I'm not the man your heart is missin'

That's why you go away, I know

Yes, I know

Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere

Don't know which way to go

There ain't so much to say now between us

There ain't so much for you (ain't so much for you)

There ain't so much for me (ain't so much for me)

Anymore

...

I won't forget the way you're kissin'

The feelings so strong were lastin' for so long

But I'm not the man your heart is missin'

That's why you go away, I know

That's why you go away, I know
