Read the full lyrics translated to English below:

He will not speak of me, nor will he speak of this
What he wants from you, I would not deny him
If this has not broken me, I will never break
If I can bear what I feel, why am I falling?

Verse]
You stood me up, you lay me down
You know too much, I can’t be proud
I still really, really love you, yes, I do
When I still really, really love you, like I do
If you won’t, then I will
If you can’t, then I will
Is it love to keep it from you?

He will not speak of me, nor will he speak of this
What he wants from you, I would not deny him
If this has not broken me, I will never break
If I can bear what I feel, why am I falling?

Am I falling?
You stood me up, you lay me down
You know too much (Too much), I can’t be proud
I still really, really love you, yes, I do
