[English]

People see you on the screen and think you're make-believe

But I tell them you're better in person

You got that kind of confidence that makes everyone obsessed

But be honest, I know that you're hurting

But I guess everyone's got someone who can blow their shit up

I hate that she made you wanna cry, took one shot and shut you down

She's got nothing on you, I hope you see that now

And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of you too

Mmh, look at you

Selfless to a fault, you'd drive your car straight through a wall

If it meant that you'd lessen the burden

Oh, and I can feel the vultures circling

They're hungry for the blood of a beautiful thing (of a beautiful thing)

Everybody's got that somebody that fucks you up

I hate that she made you wanna cry, took one shot and shut you down

She's got nothing on you, I hope you see that now

And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of you too

Mmh, look at you

(Said I wasn't jealous of you too)

I hate that she made you wanna cry, took one shot and shut you down

She's got nothing on you, I hope you see that now

And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of you too

Mmh, look at you
