[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 kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
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 kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away 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
There ain't so much for me anymore
...
I won't forget the way you're kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away I know
That's why you go away I know
...
