[English]

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah-ah-h-h-h-h, no)

Don't wanna make up (make up, ah-h)

(M-TP)

I'm too headstrong to make up

Gonna wake up, goodbye

I'm kind of stubborn, I've grown that way

Seeing that side of you

Never really knew what love was

Pretty sick of that promise

Swallowing that pain

Wearing the crown as if unchained

Closing my eyes, I hear you sigh, oh

Catching the light, still hear your whining, oh

Watching you lie, I'm losing my mind, oh

Wishing you'd die, don't even try, oh

This is goodbye, drying those tears, oh

Wing it and drive, get away from here, oh

Still asking why? Why, why, why, why, why?

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (oh, oh, oh)

No one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

Got no one at all (oh, oh, oh)

...

Ran after you without a doubt

God was waiting here, knocked me out

He let me see everything

You've been hiding from me since the day our love started fading

Burned the promises when we sped up (faster)

Than a hurricane flooding the river

You took my heart, leaving nothing

Did it feel that good watching my soul bleed?

Closing my eyes, I hear you sigh, oh

Catching the light, still hear your whining, oh

Watching you lie, I'm losing my mind, oh

Wishing you'd die, don't even try, oh

This is goodbye, drying those tears, oh

Wing it and drive, get away from here, oh

Still asking why? Why, why, why, why, why?

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (oh, oh, oh)

No one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

Get no one at all (all, all, all, no one at all, no one at all)

No one at all

Got no one at all

Got no one at all

Got no one at all (all, all, all)

...

There's no one at all

No one at all

Ah, ah

...

[Vietnamese]

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah-ah-h-h-h-h, no)

Don't wanna make up (make up, ah-h)

(M-TP)

Don't wanna make up, headstrong

Gonna wake up, so long

I kinda die hard and grew

Seeing that part of you

I never knew love somehow

Pretty sick of that vow

Swallowing down that pain

Wearing the crown unchained

Closing my eyes, I hear you 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 that tear, oh

Wing it and drive, get away from here, oh

Still asking why, why, why, why, why, why?

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (oh, oh, oh)

No one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

Got no one at all (oh, oh, oh)

Ran after you, got no doubt

God waiting here, knocked me out

He let me see whatever

You hide from me since the day we love lesser

Burned the promise when we faster (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 you 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 that tear, oh

Wing it and drive, get away from here, oh

Still asking why, why, why, why, why, why?

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

There's no one at all (oh, oh, oh)

No one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Got no one at all (ah, ah, ah)

Get no one at all (all, all, all, no one at all, no one at all)

No one at all

Got no one at all

Got no one at all

Got no one at all (all, all, all)

There's no one at all

No one at all

Ah, ah
