[English]

Oh, ooh

Oh, oh

Ambience in the night lights

Thinking 'bout what we've done

Should I wish that I could turn back time

And be right next to you? (Ooh)

When you say you want me back, I have to say no, hey

'Cause I know the way this goes when you

Hold me, I just want to feel you hold me

You know me like nobody else could know me, oh

You've been there through all my highs and lows

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you-

Take all the pain and go drink it all, baby

I'll break the bottles, so tell me I'm crazy

When you see me in tears, does it get you high?

I cry

Every time we break up, we run it back (run it back, back)

I can feel my heart fallin' off my chest

You got me thinking back to when

Ooh, whoa, whoa

Hold me, I just want to feel you hold me

You know me like nobody else could know me, ooh-whoa

You've been there through all my highs and lows

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you go (ooh)

I love you, but I gotta let you go

I love you, but I gotta let you go

You've been there through all my highs and lows

I love you, but I gotta let you go

...

I love you, but I gotta let you-

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Go, go, go, go

Oh, I

...
