Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm petrified of letting you in
I'm terrified for you to see my skin
If I cried on your shoulder
Would you still say it's over?
Vulnerability
Don't come easy to me
You act like it's news
But you've said it all before
What would it take
To stop me walking out that door?
You've lied and you've cheated
Till I'm bruised and defeated
Still I'm on the floor begging for more
I've pleaded
I've cried
I've learnt my lesson a thousand times
You cut
And bleed me dry
I've hurt too much this time
I know you think I'm weak
And that I'm a fool
I played the lovers game
That was taught to me by you
It's kind of sick and twisted
How you pretended to care
Put your head on my shoulder
Guess the games always unfair
Didn't know I was quick on the uptake
Didn't know that I studied the game
Didn't think I could thrive without you
Didn't think that I have a straight aim
Should've taken every precaution
Listened close to the voice in my head
Telling me that you
Can't ever force it
If it's love or just lying in bed
I've pleaded
I've cried
I've learnt my lesson a thousand times
You cut
And bleed me dry
I've hurt too much this time
