[English]

Excuse my French, but every time you turn your phone around

I just kind of lose my,

lose my shit

Thinkin' it's another me hangin' on the other line

I'm fine, I keep bringin' all my problems to a pillow fight

I am just trying to get to you

But it's not your fault, no, it's not your fault

No, it's not your fault, no, no

'Cause if I'm gonna learn how to love you, I need to unlearn how to love too

Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right

Oh, my God, I'm tryin'

If I'm gonna learn how to choose you, I need to unlearn what I'm used to

Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right

Oh, my God, I'm tryin'

Excuse my mouth, but every time you run a little late

Hanging with your friends, I freak the fuck out

Then you come home, and your kiss tastes like mine

I'm fine, I keep bringing all my problems to a pillow fight

I am just trying to get to you

But it's not your fault, no, it's not your fault

No, it's not your fault, no, no

'Cause if I'm gonna learn how to love you, I need to unlearn how to love too

Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right

Oh, my God, I'm tryin'

If I'm gonna learn how to choose you, I need to unlearn what I'm used to

Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right

Oh, my God, I'm tryin'
