[English]

All love is pain

My heart won't be the same

I still make enough tea (ooh)

For two of us (ooh)

There's always something (there's always something)

That reminds me of you

Now I just keep holding on, trying to save all the memories

You became a part of me, how can I let that disappear? Oh

Where did we go so wrong, my dear?

I'm breaking down

While you're moving on

What am I supposed to do?

My heart won't heal the same 'cause now love is pain

Does someone else make you laugh? Mm

When all I do is cry

You've got it all figured out, please just tell me how

You sleep at night

'Cause sometimes, we'd fight

Sparking fires inside

Break up, make up

Wake up, enough

Round and round and round, we'd go again

Convincing ourselves we were more than just friends

But now it's the end

Do you even care that

I'm breaking down?

While you're moving on

What am I supposed to do?

My heart won't heal the same 'cause now love is pain

Breaking down

While you're moving on

What am I supposed to do?

My heart won't heal, no, it won't heal 'cause now love is pain

I still want to hold your hand, but this love was built on sand

Some things just don't go as planned, I guess we missed our chance

I still feel you here with me

Round and round and round and round we go again

...
