Alejandro
Skrillex feat. Lady Gaga Lyrics

I know that we are young,
Even though we're young, I'm aware that you have feelings for me

And I know that you may love me,
You may have feelings of love towards me, and I understand that

But I just can't be with you like this anymore,
I'm sorry, but I cannot continue to be in a relationship with you in the same way as before
