[Verse 1]

I feel left out

Like a child

Every time that you're close

Every time that you walk through the door

I feel let down

Is it fear?

Don't you feel my heart go

Every time you whisper in my ear?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause everybody wants to feel love

Everybody wants to be adored-dored

Everybody wants to feel love

Everybody wants to be adored-dored

[Chorus]

I can't keep holding my breath

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad

Take it out of my chest

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad

[Verse 2]

You're sarcastic

You tell lies

But I can handle the truth

It sounds so heavenly to me

I don't want you to hide your issues

Blow them into your tissues

Give 'em to me

Come on, give it to, give it to me!

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause everybody wants to feel love

Everybody wants to be adored-dored

Everybody wants to feel love

Everybody wants to be adored-dored

[Chorus]

Can't keep holding my breath

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad

Take it out of my chest

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad

[Bridge]

I decide to come outside

You turn around and you tell me you love me

I decide to come outside

You turn around and you tell me you need me

I decide to come outside

You turn around and you tell me you love me

I decide to come outside

All I can say, all I can say, all I can say is it makes me sad!

[Chorus]

Can't keep holding my breath

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad (Tomorrow I'll be sad)

Take it out of my chest

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad (Tomorrow I'll be sad)

[Verse 1: YUNGBLUD]

I feel left out

Like a child

Every time that you're close

Every time that you walk through the door

I feel let down

Is it fear?

Don't you feel my heart go

Every time you whisper in my ear?

[Pre-Chorus: YUNGBLUD]

'Cause everybody wants to feel love

Everybody wants to be adored-dored

Everybody wants to feel love

Everybody wants to be adored-dored

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD]

I can't keep holding my breath

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad

Take it out of my chest

God forbid you leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again

And tomorrow I'll be sad

[Verse 2: Louane]

T'es sarcastique, tu me mens

Joues avec mes sentiments

Et moi j'sais plus quoi faire quand t'es devant (Haha)

Je veux plus qu'tu caches tes idées noires

Jette-les moi dans un mouchoir et jette-les moi

Allez donne-les, donne-les moi

[Pre-Chorus: Louane, *YUNGBLUD & Louane*]

J'ai vraiment envie d'te revoir

J'ai vraiment envie que tu m'a*dores-dores*

J'ai vraiment envie d'te revoir

J'ai vraiment envie que tu m'a*dores-dores*

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & Louane]

I can't keep holding my breath, God forbid you

Leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again, and tomorrow I'll be sad

Take it out of my chest, God forbid you

Leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again, and tomorrow I'll be sad

[Bridge: Louane & *YUNGBLUD*, **Both**]

J'ai décidé d'me retourner

T'es rev'nu me dire que tu m'aimais

J'ai hésité à r'commencer

Mais t'es rev'nu me dire que tu m'aimais

J'ai encore fini par tomber

Parce que t'es rev'nu m'dire que tu m'aimais

*I decide to come outside*

**All I can say, all I can say, all I can say is it makes me sad**

[Pre-Chorus: Louane, *YUNGBLUD*]

I'm in love, in love, in love

*I'm in love again* (Hey, hey)

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & Louane]

I can't keep holding my breath, God forbid you

Leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again, and tomorrow I'll be sad (tomorrow I'll be sad)

Take it out of my chest, God forbid you

Leave me like all the rest did

I'm in love again, and tomorrow I'll be sad (tomorrow I'll be sad)
