Description
It smells like the exhale after a drama, that feeling when you're no longer crying, but you haven't let go yet. The guitar sounds quiet, as if someone is picking at an old wound with their fingers instead of the strings. It seems like everything ended a long time ago, but inside, that one person still lives, the one whose rhythm even your breathing adjusts to. The words fall like a confession, spoken not to the face, but to the ceiling. It's not a complaint, not a request, just raw honesty. When you can't love anymore, but you also can't be yourself without him. A strange balance between bitterness and tenderness, where the latter still wins, even if it's just a whisper.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Took a long vacation
No makeup, just Jay-Z
You were balls deep, now we beefin'
Had me butt-naked at the MGM
So wasted screamin', "Fuck that"
Love me now, but I'm anythin'
Hurry now, baby, stick it in
'Fore the memories get to kickin' in
It's too late
I don't wanna lose what's left of you
How am I supposed to tell ya?
I don't wanna see you with anyone but me
Nobody gets me like you
How am I supposed to let you go?
Only like myself when I'm with you
Nobody gets me, you do (do)
You do
Nobody gets me, you do (do)
You do
Nobody gets me, you do
You do
Nobody gets me, you do
Took me out to the ballet
You proposed, I went on the road
You was feelin' empty, so you left me
Now I'm stuck dealin' with a deadbeat
If I'm real, I deserve less
If I was you, I wouldn't take me back
I pretend when I'm with a man, it's you
And I know that it's too late
I don't wanna lose what's left of you
How am I supposed to tell ya?
I don't wanna see you with anyone but me
Nobody gets me like you
How am I supposed to let you go?
Only like myself when I'm with you
Nobody gets me, you do (do)
You do
Nobody gets me, you do (do)
You do
Nobody gets me, you do (do, ooh)
You do
Nobody gets me, you do (do, ooh)
Nobody gets me, you do
