[English]

I tell myself that I'll take you for the last time

I'll be over you eventually

Time after time, you seem to brush me off

I understand what we have become

You wash your neck when you leave, now I know your routine

I was in love with your mystery

Now I just take what I can get from you

I'm not embarrassed to be what you want me to be

Cause unlike you I got nothing to hide

I don't pretend to have any shame

I got a box we could put all your lies in

Until the end of days

You know that I will be a call away

The call you make when you're all alone

And I know that I will always be the one

You repent when you are done

Well here comes the sun

And you're in my arms

And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance

That you'll stay through the night

...

You just wanna fill the void now

I can tell that you've been yelling at him all night long

And I can hear it in your voice now

He got you smoking extra packs a day

Don't you worry bout me talking

I know why you've been coming

I'll be quiet this ain't nothing to me

Just wrap your legs around my waist

I won't stop until you ask me

Don't you worry bout us messing up my sheets

Cause unlike you I got nothing to hide

I don't pretend to have any shame

I got a box we could put all your lies in

Until the end of days

You know that I will be a call away

The call you make when you're all alone

And I know that I will always be the one

You repent when you are done

Well here comes the sun

And you're in my arms

And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance

That you'll stay through the night

Well here comes the sun

And you're in my arms

And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance

That you'll stay through the night

You're gonna hate him

Then you'll want me

Then you'll miss him

Then you'll hate me

Girl, I know you so well

Girl, I know your routine

You're gonna hate him

Then you'll want me

Then you'll miss him

Then you'll hate me

Girl, I know you so well

Girl, I know your routine

Well here comes the sun

And you're in my arms

And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance

That you'll stay through the night

Well here comes the sun

And you're in my arms

And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance

That you'll stay through the night
