[English]

Since you've been like this

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this

Ever since you've been like this

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this

See you've been changing, baby

In good ways and bad ways

Can't say what I say, it's far too late

And I think you made me, baby

Made me too nervous

Crying and this hurt and I gotta tell you why

Since you've been like this (this, this, this, this)

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this, this)

Ever since you've been like this (this, this, this, this)

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this, this)

Who is fronting, babe?

We don't have fun these days

It's more than complicated, I

(Couldn't say you wasn't with it)

Told me to stop my mind

When you gave up, I tried

I gave you all this time

Gave you my everything

Said I can do this all night, baby

Said I was actin' out of line, maybe

Can't put my trauma to the side

When you told me I was lyin'

Had me feelin' like I died, baby

I seen a grown man cry, baby

Just see you do it, ain't special, no

Wonder when I ain't there

What the fuck you've been sayin'?

Talkin' 'bout how I sexed you up

And I know it might mess you up

Hatin' me ain't gon' get you love

Ain't nobody gon' set you up

I ain't even gon' sweat you, love

And we'll never be friends like this

God couldn't forgive like this

Way I really went in like this

Thank God I ain't been like this (yeah)

Since you've been like this (this, this, this, this)

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this, this)

Ever since you've been like this (this, this, this, this)

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this, this)

Since you've been like this

I, bless your heart (like this)

But I, I can't take no more (like this)

I, bless your heart (like this)

But I, I can't take no more

...

Since you've been like this

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this
