Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I never believed that I would concede

我从未想过我会屈服

And let someone trample on me

任人践踏

You strung me along, I thought I was strong

你欺骗我，我以为自己很坚强

But you were just gaslighting me

但你只是在精神操控我

I've opened my eyes, and counted the lies

我已睁开双眼，数清了谎言

And now it is clearer to me

现在我彻底明白了

You are just a user and an abuser

你只是个使用者和施虐者

Living vicariously

过着寄生的生活

I never believed that I would concede

我从未想过我会屈服

And get myself blown asunder

把自己炸得粉碎

You strung me along, I thought I was strong

你欺骗我，我以为自己很坚强

But now you have pushed me under

但现在你把我压在水下

I've opened my eyes and counted the lies

我已睁开双眼，数清了谎言

And now it is clearer to me

现在我彻底明白了

You are just a user and an abuser

And I refuse to take it

Won't stand down

I'm growing stronger

You've used me for too long

Now die alone

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack

现在我要反击了，一场反击

I'm playing you at your own game

我要用你自己的游戏来玩你

I'm cutting you out, a shadow of doubt

我要切断你，一丝阴影

Is gonna hang over your name

将会笼罩你的名字

I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise

我已睁开双眼，我看穿了你的伪装

I will never see you the same

我再也不会以同样的眼光看你

I know how to win, before you begin

I'll shoot you before you take aim

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack

A psychological war

I'm cutting you in, I'm under your skin

Now I'm gonna settle the score
