I know you've been hurt by someone else 00:00

I can tell by the way you carry yourself 00:24

If you let me, here's what I'll do 00:25

I'll take care of you 00:25

I've loved and I've lost 00:25

I've asked about you and they told me things 00:25

But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same 00:27

What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed 00:29

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know 00:30

They won't get you like I will 00:32

My only wish is I die real 00:33

Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal 00:34

And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still 00:36

So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase 00:38

Big girls all get a little taste 00:41

Pushing me away so I give her space 00:43

Dealing with a heart that I didn't break 00:45

I be there for you, I will care for you 00:47

I keep thinking you just don't know 00:48

Tryna run from that, say you done with that 00:49

On your face, girl, it just don't show 00:53

When you're ready, just say you're ready 00:55

When all the baggage just ain't as heavy 00:57

And the party's over, just don't forget me 00:58

We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow 01:00

You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide 01:03

You've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes 01:10

Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do 01:18

I'll take care of you 01:23

I've loved and I've lost 01:33

It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to 01:49

Can't deny that I want you but I'll lie if I have to 01:53

Cause you don't say you love me to your friends when they ask you 01:57

Even though we both know that you do, you do 02:00

One time, been in love one time 02:05

You and all your girls in the club one time 02:07

All so convinced that you're following your heart 02:09

Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes 02:11

We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed 02:13

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know 02:16

You hate being alone, you ain't the only one 02:20

You hate the fact that you bought the dream and they sold you one 02:26

You love your friends, but somebody should've told you some 02:30

To save you, instead they say: 02:34

(Don't tell me, I don't care) 02:36

(If you hurt, I don't tell you) 02:41

(You don't care, if you're true) 02:47

Lyrics:

[English]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

If you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you

I've loved and I've lost

I've asked about you and they told me things

But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same

What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know

They won't get you like I will

My only wish is I die real

Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal

And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still

So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase

Big girls all get a little taste

Pushing me away so I give her space

Dealing with a heart that I didn't break

I be there for you, I will care for you

I keep thinking you just don't know

Tryna run from that, say you done with that

On your face, girl, it just don't show

When you're ready, just say you're ready

When all the baggage just ain't as heavy

And the party's over, just don't forget me

We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow

You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide

You've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes

Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you

I've loved and I've lost

It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to

Can't deny that I want you but I'll lie if I have to

Cause you don't say you love me to your friends when they ask you

Even though we both know that you do, you do

One time, been in love one time

You and all your girls in the club one time

All so convinced that you're following your heart

Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes

We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know

You hate being alone, you ain't the only one

You hate the fact that you bought the dream and they sold you one

You love your friends, but somebody should've told you some

To save you, instead they say:

(Don't tell me, I don't care)

(If you hurt, I don't tell you)

(You don't care, if you're true)

(Don't tell me, I don't care)

(If you hurt, I don't tell you)

(You don't care, if you're true)

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

If you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you

I've loved and I've lost

Grammar:

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

➔ Preposition 'by' indicating manner.

➔ The preposition "by" indicates *how* the speaker knows the other person has been hurt. It means 'based on' or 'from' the manner in which they behave. The structure 'by + the way' means 'according to the manner'.
My only wish is I die real

➔ Subjunctive mood ('die' instead of 'dies' after 'wish')

➔ The verb "die" is in the base form (not "dies") because it follows the verb "wish" expressing a hypothetical or desired situation. This uses the subjunctive mood (though often simplified in modern English), indicating a hypothetical event rather than a factual one. The full form would be 'My only wish is that I *should* die real'
Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal

➔ Use of 'cause' as a contraction of 'because'.

➔ "Cause" is an informal contraction of "because", commonly used in speech and song lyrics. It introduces the reason why the speaker made a previous statement. This is a very common colloquialism.
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break

➔ Relative clause with 'that' as object pronoun.

➔ "That I didn't break" is a relative clause modifying "heart". "That" functions as the object pronoun in the clause, referring to the heart. The relative pronoun "that" can often be omitted (but not in all cases) in English when it is functioning as the object pronoun, so "Dealing with a heart I didn't break" is also grammatically correct.
Tryna run from that, say you done with that

➔ Use of 'tryna' and 'done' as contractions.

➔ "Tryna" is a contraction of "trying to", and "done" is a shortening of "finished/done with". These are informal contractions. This creates a casual and conversational tone. 'Done with' can be replaced with the expression 'to be over'.
You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide

➔ Future tense with 'will' and use of 'ever' for emphasis.

➔ 'You won't ever have to' is the negative future tense. "Ever" is used here to emphasize that at no point in the future will she have to worry or hide. The structure is 'will + *ever* + have to + verb'. 'Will' indicates intention and a future action, 'ever' amplifies the meaning.
Can't deny that I want you but I'll lie if I have to

➔ Conditional clause with 'if I have to'

➔ 'If I have to' is a shortened conditional clause. The full version would be 'If I have to lie'. This clause shows the condition under which the speaker will lie, implying that he doesn't want to but will if the situation demands it.
Even though we both know that you do, you do

➔ Emphasis through repetition ('you do, you do').

➔ The repetition of "you do" emphasizes the truth that the speaker believes the other person loves him. It reinforces the feeling despite the previous line suggesting otherwise. It's a common rhetorical device for emphasis.
