[English]

I can't breathe 'cause you push me back

I should've stayed, stayed away from you

It feels like I'm, I'm being attacked

I don't know what, what I'm gonna do

Trying to improve me, why you do that to me?

I don't wanna be with you

Don't tell me that you're sorry, all you do is bother me

Don't know what I'm gonna do

I wanna run away every time when you're with me

You want me to stay just because you need me

I wanna run away every time when you're with me

You want me to stay just because you need me

I just wanna run, I just wanna hide

I just wanna be on my own sometimes

Don't you ever say that I didn't try

Don't you ever say that you don't know why

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I'm saying goodbye

It's too late, there's no way that we

Can fix it now, stay away from me

You break me down and you hold me back

It feels like I'm, I'm being attacked

Trying to improve me, why you do that to me?

I don't wanna be with you

Don't tell me that you're sorry, all you do is bother me

Don't know what I'm gonna do

I wanna run away every time when you're with me

You want me to stay just because you need me

I wanna run away every time when you're with me

You want me to stay just because you need me

I just wanna run, I just wanna hide

I just wanna be on my own sometimes

Don't you ever say that I didn't try

Don't you ever say that you don't know why

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I'm saying goodbye

...

Don't you tell me, tell me that I didn't try

Tell me that I didn't try, tell me that I didn't try

Don't you say that, don't you say you don't know why

Don't you say you don't know why, don't you say it

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I just wanna run, I just wanna hide

I just wanna be on my own sometimes

I'm saying goodbye (saying goodbye, saying goodbye)

Do you get it now?

I'm saying goodbye
