[English]

I can't tell you why

But something inside is dancing with fire

Eyes lit like the sky

Turned tears into diamonds, got good at goodbyes

Just know that I will find my way from you

Like flowers from a tomb while you decide who you are

And I can see right through, ooh-ooh, like shadows on the moon

And it's all bad news

Yeah, I, I, I

Hate that I made you love me

Sorry if I made me your type

Yeah, I, I

Hate that I made you love me

'Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, I

What's happening now?

You studied my crown and borrowed my body

Warm, kissed by the sun, then cold like the wind

A bee stuck in honey

Know that I will find my way (My way) from you (From you)

I guess it's kind of cute how you like me where you are

But I can see right through (Right through), ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)

Just don't eclipse the moon

'Cause it's all bad news

Yeah, I, I, I

Hate that I made you love me

Sorry if I made me your type

Yeah, I, I

Hate that I made you love me (Hate that I made you)

'Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, I (Ooh, I made)

I've held your projections when you've felt so insecure

Tell me, why is it this way?

Why you so hate to see women endure?

Is it really my fault you all gave me your hearts of your own accord?

I don't really think so

I, I

Hate that I made you love me (Made you love me, baby)

Sorry if I made me your type

Yeah, I, I

Hate that I made you love me

'Cause I barely tried

Yeah, I, I, I

Hate that I made you love me (You love me, baby)

Sorry if I made me your type (Sorry if I made me your type)

Yeah, I, I

Hate that I made you love me (Ooh)

'Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, I
