[English]

I'm having a day from hell

It was all going so well (before you came)

And you told me you needed space

With a kiss on the side my face (not again)

And not to mention (the tears I shed)

But I shoulda kicked your (ass instead)

I need intervention, attention to stop temptation to scream

'Cause, baby

Everything is effed up straight from the heart

Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart

Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?

'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart, no

Don't know where I parked my car

Don't know who my real friends are (anymore)

I put my faith in you

What a stupid thing to do (when it rains, it pours)

And not to mention (I drank too much)

I'm feeling hungover (and out of touch)

I need intervention, attention to stop temptation to scream

'Cause, baby

Everything is effed up straight from the heart

Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart

Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?

'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart, no

Can it be easier? Can I just change my life?

'Cause it just seems to go bad every time

Will I be mending? Another one ending once again

Everything is effed up straight from the heart

Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart

Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?

'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart, no

Everything is effed up straight from the heart

Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart

Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?

'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart (falls apart)

Gotta pick myself up, 'cause, babe, I'm messed up

Everything is effed up straight from the heart

Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart

Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?

'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls...
