[English]

Don't wanna hear one more lie

That used to work, but not tonight

That's the last time you do me wrong

I got my stuff, I'm out the door

Now I'm the one you're begging for

Don't know what you got until it's gone

I already know how this goes

Give you my all, then you ghost

But when I'm gone, you do the most, yeah

Why you only lo-o-ove me when I'm walking away?

Only ever wa-a-ant me when I don't want to stay

Love the feeling, hitting different

I'm not ever looking back

While I'm leaving, I see you staring

Go ahead boy, you can kiss my

(Uh oh, uh oh)

You can kiss my

(Uh oh, uh oh)

You can kiss my

The only time I'm in your head

Is when you're alone up in your bed

Boy, I ain't the one, you got me wrong

Yeah, you send me roses everyday

But I know the game you play

Boy, all you did was make me strong

'Cause I already know how this goes

Give you my all, then you ghost

But when I'm gone, you do the most, yeah

Why you only lo-o-ove me (love me) when I'm walking away?

Only ever wa-a-ant me (want me, yeah)

When I don't want to stay (I don't wanna stay)

Love the feeling, hittin' different

I'm not ever looking back (I'm not ever looking back)

While I'm leaving, I see you staring

Go ahead boy (you can kiss my)

(Uh oh) ooh

You can kiss my

(Uh oh) lie, lie

(Uh oh) yeah, you can kiss my

Tell me about how you want me back

Baby, you can kiss my (you can kiss my)

Go on and on 'bout the times we had

Baby, you can kiss my

You can kiss my

Key Grammar Structures

• Don't wanna hear one more lie

  ➔ Modal Verb + Infinitive

  ➔ The modal verb "**wanna**" (want to) expresses desire/preference. The infinitive "**hear**" follows it.

• That used to work, but not tonight

  ➔ Used to + Base form

  ➔ This structure describes a past habit or state. "**Used to**" indicates something that happened regularly in the past but no longer does.

• Don't know what you got until it's gone

  ➔ Subordinate Clause (Noun Clause)

  ➔ "**What you got**" functions as the object of the verb "**know**". This is a noun clause.

• I already know how this goes

  ➔ Subordinate Clause (Adverbial Clause of Manner)

  ➔ "**how this goes**" explains how the speaker knows. It functions as an adverbial clause modifying the verb "**know**".

• Give you my all, then you ghost

  ➔ Parallel Structure (Imperatives)

  ➔ The two clauses begin with imperative verbs "**Give**" and "**ghost**", creating a parallel structure and emphasizing the contrasting actions.

• Why you only love me when I'm walking away?

  ➔ Inversion (Question Formation) and Adverbial Clause of Time
