[English]

SAID TO ALL MY HOMIES THAT YOU WEREN'T EVEN MINE YOU WERE CAUGHT IN A LIE, SAID IT WITH YOUR EYES

YOU DIDN'T THINK TWICE, GOT A HEART MADE OF ICE AND THAT SH!T HIT ME, DID ME DIRTY

I NEVER ASKED WHY AND I NEVER DID CRY I NEVER TOLD ANOTHER HOW I FELT INSIDE

MY DEMONS DON'T HIDE WHEN I'M DREAMING AT NIGHT AND I WON'T MISLEAD YOU, YOU'LL MISS ME

'CAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU NO MORE GIVE ME BACK MY HOODIES OR I'M KICKING DOWN DOORS

YOU WEREN'T EVEN PRETTY, LOOKING BACK AND I'M SURE YOU STILL MISS ME, THAT'S SO FUNNY

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU, YOU SWORE YOU WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT ME BEFORE

YOU LIED LOOKING FILTHY IN YOUR UGLY JEAN SHORTS

YOU STILL KISSED ME, NOW SHIT'S HISTORY I DON'T MIND IF WE SPEAK AGAIN

I DON'T WANNA BE COOL, I DON'T WANNA BE FRIENDS LEAVE ME HALF ALIVE, ON MY HOMIES, YOU WAS FLIRTY

FILL ME UP WITH LIES, AND YOU DID ME SO DIRTY 'CAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU NO MORE

LEFT ME BLEEDING WITH MY HEART ON THE FLOOR YOU WERE NEVER REALLY MINE, I WAS NEVER REALLY YOURS

YOU'RE THE DEMON ON MY SHOULDER I'M JUST TRYING TO IGNORE, AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR FAKE ASS

FRIENDS, HOLLYWOOD HILLS, WHILE WE PLAY PRETEND I DON'T WANNA SAY I'M SORRY, I DON'T WANNA MAKE AMENDS

I WILL NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE LIKE YOU AGAIN 'CAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU NO MORE

GIVE ME BACK MY HOODIES OR I'M KICKING DOWN DOORS YOU WEREN'T EVEN PRETTY, LOOKING BACK AND I'M SURE

YOU STILL MISS ME, THAT'S SO FUNNY I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU, YOU SWORE

YOU WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT ME BEFORE YOU LIED LOOKING FILTHY IN YOUR UGLY JEAN SHORTS

YOU STILL KISSED ME, NOW SHIT'S HISTORY REGARDLESS, YOU'RE SO HEARTLESS

LEAD MY HEART INTO YOUR DARKNESS

HID THE TRUTH BEHIND YOUR HARMLESS PRETTY FACE

AND I KNOW YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF OTHER OPTIONS LIVE IN YOUR HEAD RENT FREE, A NEUROTOXIN

AND I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE KNOWING FULL WELL YOU WERE PUT UP FOR ADOPTION

OH! SHIT, YEAH! I WENT THERE BUT HONESTLY, I DON'T CARE YOU NEVER TRIED TO PLAY FAIR WITH ME

LEFT ME BROKEN WITH SCARS, MAKING ALL THESE REMARKS SO NOW THIS IS THE PART WHERE I LEAVE

'CAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU NO MORE GIVE ME BACK MY HOODIES OR I'M KICKING DOWN DOORS

YOU WEREN'T EVEN PRETTY, LOOKING BACK AND I'M SURE YOU STILL MISS ME, THAT'S SO FUNNY

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU, YOU SWORE YOU WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT ME BEFORE

YOU LIED LOOKING FILTHY IN YOUR UGLY JEAN SHORTS

YOU STILL KISSED ME, NOW SHIT'S HISTORY
