Lyrics:

[English]

I got a lack of good judgment

Judgin' by the fact I got close to you (oh, no)

Time should heal, but it doesn't

Or maybe 'cause you still haven't told the truth (oh, no)

You know there's nothin' worse

Than missin' the signs

'Cause you pulled the wool right over your eyes

I'll admit when I'm wrong

But this time, I'm right

I'm sorry but I'll never see your side

Said she was a girl's girl, that's a lie

Said she had my back but she had the knife

I could never do it once and she did it twice

And you wonder why

And you wonder why we're not alike

(Oh, yeah, wе're not alike)

(Oh, yeah, wе're not alike)

Told me him and I would look so good

So when did you decide you want him instead?

(You want him instead, like, um)

No, I'm not saying I'm petty

But that's not saying that you're so innocent

(No, you're not innocent)

You know there's nothin' worse

Than missing the signs

'Cause you pulled the wool right over your eyes

I'll admit when I'm wrong

But this time, I'm right

I'm sorry but I'll never see your side

Said she was a girl's girl, that's a lie

Said she had my back but she had the knife

I could never do it once and she did it twice

And you wonder why

And you wonder why we're not alike

And you wonder why

Yeah, you wonder why

Yeah, you wonder why (we're not alike)

And you know I'm right

You know I'm right

Yeah, you know I'm right

She calls herself a girl's girl, that's a lie

Said she had my back but she had the knife

I could never do it once and she did it twice

And you wonder why (yeah)

Wonder why (why)

Said she was a girl's girl, that's a lie (that's a fucking lie)

Said she had my back but she had the knife

I could never do it once and she did it twice (do it twice)

And you wonder why

Yeah, you wonder why we're not alike
