[English]

Come round to mine and tell me what's been happenin'

You say it's him, that's not very surprisin'

Your eyes are red, I can tell you've been cryin'

You say you're fine, but you're lyin'

It's the same thing, different day

Runnin' out of words to say

And we've all been that girl, fallin' for potential

But he can't do the basics, and that shit's essential

He'll buy you flowers, but he won't call you back

Ruin your life and then tell you, "Relax"

And, look, I get it if the sex is kinda good (so good)

But guess what, honey? If he wanted to, he would

I hate to tell you, but he ain't gonna change

I know it hurts, and I know it's such a shame

You're only blinded 'cause the sex is kinda good

Not being funny, but if he wanted to, he would

His sense of vanity got you out here doing charity

He thinks he needs a lover, what he really needs is therapy

Don't forget your worth, he never puts you first

I wanna see you with the love I know that you deserve

Same thing, different day

Runnin' out of words to say

And we've all been that girl, fallin' for potential

But he can't do the basics, and that shit's essential

He'll buy you flowers, but he won't call you back

Ruin your life and then tell you, "Relax" (relax)

And, look, I get it if the sex is kinda good (so good)

But guess what, honey? If he wanted to, he would

I hate to tell you, but he ain't gonna change (no)

I know it hurts, and I know it's such a shame

You're only blinded 'cause the sex is kinda good

Not being funny, but if he wanted to, he would

If he wanted to, he would

(If he wanted to, he would)

Girl, if you love him, I love that for you

But I'd fuck him up if you wanted me to

He'll buy you flowers, but he won't call you back

Ruin your life and then tell you, "Relax"

And, look, I get it if the sex is kinda good

But guess what, honey? If he wanted to, he would

He'll buy you flowers, but he won't call you back (oh)

Ruin your life and then tell you, "Relax"

And, look, I get it if the sex is kinda good (so good)

But guess what, honey? If he wanted to, he would

I hate to tell you, but he ain't gonna change (he ain't gonna change)

I know it hurts, and I know it's such a shame

You're only blinded 'cause the sex is kinda good

Not being funny, but if he wanted to, he would
