| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
I've been thinking all night long You're gonna pay for all the things you've done You lie, you cheated on me Still I'm strong I tried to tell you, but you never learn When love's gone, there's no return Now you're gonna be the bridge And I'm gonna burn (Pre-Chorus) Whatever you're giving out It always comes back around (Chorus) If this is love, I don't need it I've had enough Of your lying and when I'm gone You're gonna regret it I don't wanna be loved If this is lovе (Verse 2) I gave my heart, but you crossed the linе I looked the other way, but not this time You lie, you cheated on me Here's where I leave you behind (Pre-Chorus) Whatever you're giving out It always comes back around (Chorus) If this is love, I don't need it I've had enough Of your lying and when I'm gone You're gonna regret it I don't wanna be loved If this is lovе (Bridge) If this is love (Pre-Chorus) Whatever you're giving out It always comes back around (Chorus) If this is love, I don't need it I've had enough Of your lying and when I'm gone You're gonna regret it I don't wanna be loved If this is love, I don't need it I've had enough Of your lying and when I'm gone You're gonna regret it I don't wanna be loved If this is love, I don't need it I've had enough Of your lying and when I'm gone You're gonna regret it |
