[English]

(This is the end)

Been in survival mode most of my life

But I'm tired

Can't go on living like I wanna die

Cause I might

I got so used to losing my mind

Like I liked it

(This is the end)

Here's to all the lonely nights and girls and guys I'd run away with

When you see me the next time I'm not the same bitch

Break up with the voice in my head

Goodbye to the worst time I ever had

Imma love me better

(This is the end)

Make peace with the girl in the mirror

She never deserved the things I said

Nothing lasts forever

This is the end of my sad girl era

...

This is the end of my sad girl era

Time's gonna pass and seasons change

So do I

Can't hold on to yesterday

For dear life

Had a good run, but was it fun being numb

And almost losing everyone?

Like it liked it

Here's to all the lonely nights and girls and guys I'd run away with

When you see me the next time I'm not the same bitch

Break up with the voice in my head

Goodbye to the worst time I ever had

Imma love me better

(This is the end)

Make peace with the girl in the mirror

She never deserved the things I said

Nothing lasts forever

This is the end of my sad girl era

And now the curtains finally close

Applause for the most fucked up show

Nothing lasts forever

This is the end of my sad girl era

Break up with the voice in my head

Goodbye to the worst time I ever had

Imma love me better

(This is the end)

Make peace with the girl in the mirror

She never deserved the things I said

Nothing lasts forever

This is the end of my sad girl era

(This is the end)

...

This is the end of my sad girl era

...
