Lyrics and translation
Original
Afraid you'd call again to tell the same old stories
I know I can't pretend, but this back and forth, it bores me, mm
But time and time again, you're never hesitant
The ringing never ends, how much can I offend?
By now, you'll surely feel and think it's really real that I hate you, my Jameel
But I'd watch the whole world drown (to see), to see you cry again (again)
I can't cry against the wind, the way it dries, it haunts me
They're the stains of my regrets 'cause I am, I'm so, so sorry
Oh, but time and time again you're never hesitant
The ringing never ends, how much can I offend?
By now, you'll surely feel and think it's really real that I hate you, my Jameel
But I'd watch the whole world drown (to see), to see you cry again (again)
(Hmm)
(Hmm)
(Hmm)
(Hmm)
Oh, mm-ah, yeah, what?
Watch you fade out, spill the ink and start again
Watched the time go and it ain't pretend
Watch you fade out, spill the ink and start again
Watched your time go and this ain't pretend
Oh, isn't it crazy how fast that now turns to past and fades away?
On a Friday you're born, this Friday he's gone, we're made of clay
Something is wrong, someone is gone
These are the words that recentered my heart
Never the same (hmm), season of change
How can I ever restart? I
Watched you fade out, spill the ink and start again (oh, baby, ooh)
Watched your time go, but I can't pretend (and I can't, been here before)
Watched you fade out, take my hand and start again (and I end the fun)
I watched your time go, and it ain't pretend, no
Watch you fade out, spill the ink and start again (oh, Father, oh, Father, oh, Father, I pray)
I watched your time go, and I can't pretend (oh, please, I end up crawling back to you)
Ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-mm
