[Intro]
Je suis désolé
Lo siento
Ik ben droevig
Sono spiacente
Perdóname
[Refrain]
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before and I
Can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say "Forgive me"
I've seen it all before and I
Can't take it anymore
[Verse 1]
You're not half the man you think you are
Save your words because you've gone too far
I've listened to your lies and all your stories
(Listened to your stories)
You're not half the man you'd like to be
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before and I
Can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say "Forgive me"
I've seen it all before and I
Can't take it anymore
[Verse 2]
Don't explain yourself 'cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak
You stayed because I made it so convenient (I made it so convenient)
Don't explain yourself, you'll never see
[Bridge]
Gomenasai
Mujhe maaf kardo
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
Przepraszam
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
Sli'kha
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
Forgive me
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
[Refrain]
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before
(Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry)
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before and I
Can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say "Forgive me"
I've seen it all before and I
Can't take it anymore
[Outro]
(I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know)
Don't explain yourself 'cause talk is cheap
(Please don't say you're sorry)
(I've heard it all before and I)
There's more important things than hearing you speak
(Can take care of myself)
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say "Forgive me"
