[English]
Lights turn greenYou were staring through my mind
You should pay attention
You should really take some time
I know I confuse you
I manipulate, you cry
I know I'ma lose you
But I need you in my life
Oh, oh
We found love, but we never explored it, no
Oh, oh
You showed me love, but I always ignored it
I was an accidental bitch
I was just high as shit
Didn't mean to hurt you
I was an accidental bitch
I don't know what switched
Is it too late to undo
All the things I did and did not do?
All the things I said that were not true
I was an accidental bitch
Now I'm being punished
I just wanna be with you
You remember it
Like we still be thе same
I remembеr whippin'
Whippin', kissin', switchin' lanes
In a foreign, always in the foreign
Trying to impress me
Why you crash it when we floor it?
Oh, oh
We found love, but we never explored it, no
Oh, oh
I treated you like you weren't important
I was an accidental bitch
I was just high as shit
Didn't mean to hurt you
I was an accidental bitch
Take it back, I wish
Is it too late to undo
All the things I did and did not do?
All the things I said that were not true
I was an accidental bitch
Now I'm being punished
I just wanna be with you
The way you kept me close
When I shoulda been repoed
Shoulda known better
The drugs fucked my head up
Why did you let me?
Why didn't you come and get me?
Why you still mad though?
I'm pleading insanity
I was an accidental bitch
I was just high as shit
Didn't mean to hurt you
I was an accidental bitch
Maybe that's what you miss
Maybe that's what you're used to
All the things I did and did not do
All the things I said that were not true
I was an accidental bitch
Now I'm being punished
I just wanna be with you
