[English]

Two years and you never said a word, though

In two hours, and now we said it all, aha

You know we don't wanna fall in love again, oh no

Just think about what we did, it never worked, no

Tonight I can't tell that you don't care

You always know how to get me sentimental

You always say the right things, like

You're pushing me away, then you pull me back in

Like I'm your lady, but then you just stop trying

You push away then, when I go all in

Like you're afraid of what might happen if you're trying, mmm

I'm already done with these games

So I might just be honest with that

I'm pushing you away, then you pull me back in

Like I'm your lady, but then you just stop trying

Mmm, then you just stop trying

Two nights and you think you know me now, mmm

Two seconds and I might just throw you out, mmm

'Cause I remember everything you did

And I everything I became I don't like, oh no

So why are you doing this tonight?

You always know how to get me sentimental

You always say the right things, like

You're pushing me away, then you pull me back in

Like I'm your lady, but then you just stop trying

You push away then, when I go all in

Like you're afraid of what might happen if you're trying, mmm

I'm already done with these games

So I might just be honest with that

I'm pushing you away, then you pull me back in

Like I'm your lady, but then you just stop trying

Mmm, then you just stop trying

You always say the right things, like

You're pushing me away, then you pull me back in

Like I'm your lady, but then you just stop trying

You push away then, when I go all in

Like you're afraid of what might happen if you're trying, mmm

I'm already done with these games

So I might just be honest with that

I'm pushing you away, then you pull me back in

Like I'm your lady, but then you just stop trying

Mmm, then you just stop trying
