[English]

I nearly married my mate in Vegas

I was lookin' for rings on Craigslist

We were takin' it slow for ages

But I'm lovesick, you're contagious

Hey brain, What's on the mind?

Why did you blow up?

It's all in my phone

Confusing my love

Why would you put that in my mind, why would you bring it up?

Cover my eyes, cover my ears, now I'll cover my heart

Will I jump off the plane when it gets dark, when it gets hard?

Why would you put that in my mind, why would you bring it up?

Uh-oh,

I fell in love what's the point?

Show me

I wanna know that I'm yours

Uh-oh,

I fell in love what's the point?

Maybe

I can't do love anymore

Hating pictures in my mind

I do this every time

The doubt I can't erase

I don't know what is mine

I do not care at all

I've got so much to hide

It doesn't matter why

It doesn't matter why

Hey you, What are you worried about?

What's on your mind?

Could we work it out?

Why would you put that in my mind, why would you bring it up?

Cover my eyes, cover my ears, now I'll cover my heart

Will I jump off the plane when it gets dark, when it gets hard?

Why would you put that in my mind, why would you bring it up?

Uh-oh,

I fell in love what's the point?

Show me

I wanna know that I'm yours

Uh-oh,

I fell in love what's the point?

Maybe

I can't do love anymore
