[English]

Ahhh … ahhh … ahh

I don't

(Don't wanna make up)

Ahh

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 I'm pretty sick of that vow

Swallowing down that pain

Wearing the 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 that tear oh, wing it and

Drive 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)

Got no one at all (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 there knocked me out

He let me see whatever

You hide from me since the day we loved lesser

Burned the promise we make faster

Than hurricane flooding river

You took me, 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 that tear oh, wing it and

Drive 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)

Got no one at all (oh oh oh)

Got no one at all (ah ah ah)

Got no one at all (oh oh oh)

(No one at all, no one all, no one at all)

No one at all

Got no one at all

Got no one at all

Got no one at all

There's no one at all

No one at all, ah
