Look what you made me do 00:08

Got nothing left to lose 00:11

It's like I barely knew you at all (hm) 00:15

Isn't it such a shame? 00:22

We could've drove away 00:26

It's like I barely knew you 00:30

Or even had you to lose you 00:34

You're makin' it worse, it's makin' me hurt 00:37

I dive in head-first, you go in reverse 00:42

Made me feel like I'm living a lie 00:45

But, it would be nice without an Irish goodbye 00:49

Feel a little (uh-uh), in the middle (uh-uh) 00:53

Living riddles (uh-uh), if only you knew 00:57

You're something special (uh-uh), it made me mental (uh-uh), sentimental (uh-uh) 01:00

Thinkin' 'bout you got my love and my devotion 01:06

If I can't love you, then no one else, is me and you 01:14

Look what you made me do 01:21

Got nothing left to lose 01:25

It's like I barely knew you at all (hm) 01:29

Isn't it such a shame? 01:37

We could've drove away 01:40

It's like I barely knew you 01:44

Or even had you to lose you 01:48

You're makin' it worse, it's makin' me hurt 01:52

I dive in head-first, you go in reverse 01:56

Made me feel like I'm living a lie 02:00

But, it would be nice without an Irish goodbye 02:03

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Look what you made me do

Got nothing left to lose

It's like I barely knew you at all (hm)

Isn't it such a shame?

We could've drove away

It's like I barely knew you

Or even had you to lose you

You're makin' it worse, it's makin' me hurt

I dive in head-first, you go in reverse

Made me feel like I'm living a lie

But, it would be nice without an Irish goodbye

Feel a little (uh-uh), in the middle (uh-uh)

Living riddles (uh-uh), if only you knew

You're something special (uh-uh), it made me mental (uh-uh), sentimental (uh-uh)

Thinkin' 'bout you got my love and my devotion

If I can't love you, then no one else, is me and you

Look what you made me do

Got nothing left to lose

It's like I barely knew you at all (hm)

Isn't it such a shame?

We could've drove away

It's like I barely knew you

Or even had you to lose you

You're makin' it worse, it's makin' me hurt

I dive in head-first, you go in reverse

Made me feel like I'm living a lie

But, it would be nice without an Irish goodbye
