Bust Your Windows
Jazmine Sullivan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bust the windows out ya car
And no, it didn't mend my broken heart
I'll probably always have these ugly scars
But right now, I don't care about that part

I bust the windows out ya car
After I saw you laying next to her
I didn't wanna but I took my turn
I'm glad I did it 'cause you had to learn




I must admit, it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you see what happens when

See, you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)

I bust the windows out ya car
You know I did it 'cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with the crowbar
And then I drove off into the dark

I bust the windows out ya car, ha
You should feel lucky that that's all I did
After five whole years of this bullshit
Gave you all of me and you played with it, ooh-ah

I must admit, it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you see what happens when

You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile

I bust the windows out ya car
But it don't compare to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until it happens, baby, you don't know pain

Oh, yeah, I did it (yeah, I did it)
You should know it (you should know it)
I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry)
You deserved it (you deserved it)

After what you did to me (after what you did)
You deserved it (you deserved it)
I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry)
No, no, oh (I ain't sorry)

You broke my heart
So I broke ya car (you caused me pain)
You caused me pain
So I did the same

Even though all that you did to me was much worse
I had to do something to make you hurt, yeah
Oh, but why am I still cryin'?
Why am I the one who's still cryin'?

Oh, oh, you really hurt me, baby
You really, you really hurt me, baby
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Now watch me you
Now watch me you
I bust the windows out ya car
