[English]

I wanna go out

Put on something to make somebody fall in love

When you're still at the house

Think it just hit you just how good it really was

You know I tried, I really did

But you were never good at listening

You never thought that I'd go through with it

It's funny in your eyes how it happened so quick

So, say what you want, but

You don't really need to

While you were out drawing all the lines that you crossed

I already grieved you

So, say what you want, but

This time I don't believe you

While you've been talking circles every time you got caught

I already grieved you, grieved you
