[English]

It's hard for me when I

Think about the things that never been

They keep coming back again

Like they've got something to prove

I love my memories but they have a way

Of controlling me at times

And I'm so lost without you

Yeah, yeah

And I can't get far from it

And from what went wrong

And I know it's stupid

'Cause it's been so long

The farther I get away

The more I hold on

It's just this feeling I get

It's like I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I am not done yet, e-e-e, e-et

I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I think about those times when we were young

And everything was so brand new

And our words were so true, and you

Looked into my eyes that one last time

If I had known back then

What I'd be living with today

We might have stayed, but

I can't get far from it

And from what went wrong

And I know it's stupid

'Cause it's been so long

The farther I get away

The more I hold on

It's like I try to forget

Somehow I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I am not done yet, e-e-e, e-et

I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

It's hard for me when I

Think about the things that never been

They keep coming back again

Like they've got something to prove

It's like I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

I am not done yet, e-e-e, e-et

I'm not done yet, e-e-e, e-e-et

Whoa, nah, woy

I'm not done yet, no

I'm not done yet, no

I'm not done yet, no

I'm not done, not yet

I am not done yet, no

I'm not done yet, no

I'm not done yet, no

I'm not done, not yet

I am not done yet
