Lyrics & Translation

[English]

She called me up

She had a hard night

Wanted some love

To make her alright

I didn't know

That in her mind

We were getting closer

When really we were over

Possessive turned to passive in the middle of the night

Now in your vision, I'm the villain you can't look me in the eyes

I watched your jealousy turn my sincerity

Into dishonesty, but I'll be the bigger person, babe

I know you have to hate me

Won't blame you if you blame me

I promise, even though it hurts, I won't take it personal

You've got some harbored feelings

Like I left you for no reason

I promise, even though it hurts, I won't take it personal

It's for the best

The way it ended

I failed your test

Rose colored lenses

Are what you wore

To hide the damage

But you can't fix glass

When it's shattered in half

Possessive turned to passive in the middle of the night

There's no going back to what we had, no rearranging time

'Cause all your jealousy turned my sincerity

Into dishonesty, but I'll be the bigger person, babe

I know you have to hate me

Won't blame you if you blame me

I promise, even though it hurts, I won't take it personal

You got some harbored feelings

Like I left you for no reason

I promise, even though it hurts, I won't take it personal

...

I wish I had known

You'd take it so personal

I wish you'd let it go

Don't take it so personal

I wish I had known

You'd take it so personal

Don't take it so personal

...
