[English]

Don’t wanna make up

Headstrong

Gonna wake up

So long

I kinda died hard

And grew

Seeing that part

Of you

I never knew love

Somehow

Pretty sick of

That vow

Swallow it down

That pain

Wearing that crown

Unchained

Closing my eyes

I hear your sigh oh

Catching the light

Still hear your whine oh

Watching you lie

Losing my mind oh

Wishing you’d die

Don’t even try oh

This is goodbye

Drying my tear oh

Wing it and drive

Away from here oh

Still asking why-y-y-y-y-y

I have no one by my side

No one by my side

I have no one by my side

No one by my side

There’s no one by my side

Ran after you, got no doubt

God waiting there, knocked me out

He let me see whatever

You hide from me since the day we love lesser

Burned the promise we make faster

Than hurricane flooding river

You took my heart, leaving nothing

So did it feel that good, see my soul bleeding?

Closing my eyes

I hear your sigh oh

Catching the light

Still hear your whine oh

Watching you lie

Losing my mind oh

Wishing you’d die

Don’t even try oh

This is goodbye

Drying my tear oh

Wing it and drive

Away from here oh

Still asking why-y-y-y-y-y

I have no one by my side

No one by my side

I have no one by my side

No one by my side

There’s no one by my side

There’s no one by my side

There’s no one by my side

Anh không cần em đâu

There’s no one by my side

Anh không cần em đâu

There’s no one by my side
