[Verse 1]
Cash girls suffer me, I’ve got no enemies
I’m walking down
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see
If I'll never see the English evergreens, I’m running to

It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see
If I'll never see the English evergreens, I’m running to

[Chorus 2]

Don’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
I’m trying to
I’m dying to
[Outro]
I’m trying to
I’m dying to
I’m trying to
I’m dying to
I’m trying to
I’m dying to
I’m trying to
I’m dying to
