[English]

Ay, this goes to Mrs. Right because you swear you do no wrong

You claim that love was your intent but meant to hurt me all along

You ran me through the mud, you told your friends I led you on

I had so much love in my heart for you, I seen through all your flaws

And all those walls I broke 'em down, now I regret it

Just look at all this shit that I done caused, I can't forget it

You said you wouldn't leave but shit got hard and then you did it

If I could put a price tag on my heart, I swear I'd sell it

First classed it when I mailed it

Go ahead and make it about you

Keep tellin' yourself I put you through hell

And how my heart is breakin' without you

Baby, don't flatter yourself

I don't miss the crazy, I don't miss the lies

I don't miss a damn thing, spin it how you like

I know you're gonna do what you always do

Go ahead and make it about you

Ay, it's cool when you do it but to them folks you say it's me

Like I ain't give you all my love, and you ain't toss it in the street

Why you didn't tell me 'bout your selfish ways? Instead, I had to see

Went with your move, it hurt me deep, you even spilled some of the tea

But for you, I never changed, I dealt with all your wrong

I even tried to fix your ways to get you back on track

But then you left me for that train, now I'm sittin' here in pain

Did everything that I could do, still tryna wrap around my brain, ay

Go ahead and make it about you

Keep tellin' yourself I put you through hell

And how my heart is breakin' without you

Baby, don't flatter yourself

I don't miss the crazy, I don't miss the lies

I don't miss a damn thing, spin it how you like

I know you're gonna do what you always do

Go ahead and make it about you

Go ahead and make it about you

Keep tellin' yourself I put you through hell

And how my heart is breakin' without you

Baby, don't flatter yourself

I don't miss the crazy, I don't miss the lies

I don't miss a damn thing, but spin it how you like

I know you're gonna do what you always do

Go ahead and make it about you

Yeah, go 'head and make it about you
