Bust Your Windows
Cecile Ft. 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

Line by Line Meaning

I bust the windows out ya car
I shattered the windows of your car as an act of revenge

And no, it didn't mend my broken heart
Breaking your car did not help me heal from the pain you caused me

I'll probably always have these ugly scars
The emotional scars you left will stay with me for a long time

But right now, I don't care about that part
In this moment, getting back at you feels more important than my own emotional healing

After I saw you laying next to her
I caught you cheating, lying with another woman

I didn't wanna but I took my turn
I didn't want to resort to revenge, but I was left with no other choice

I'm glad I did it 'cause you had to learn
I'm glad I broke your car because it taught you a lesson

To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I thought about the satisfaction I would feel knowing that you'd see the damage I caused

But I'm glad you see what happens when
I'm glad you now understand that there are consequences to your actions

You should feel lucky that that's all I did
You should feel fortunate that I only broke your car and didn't do anything worse

After five whole years of this bullshit
After enduring five years of hurtful behavior and mistreatment from you

Gave you all of me and you played with it
I gave you my all and you took advantage of my love and trust

But it don't compare to my broken heart
While breaking your car felt good in the moment, it doesn't make up for the pain you caused me

You could never feel how I felt that day
You could never understand the pain and betrayal I felt when I caught you cheating

Until it happens, baby, you don't know pain
Until you experience the same kind of hurt and heartbreak, you can't truly understand how it feels

You caused me pain
You hurt me deeply

So I did the same
So I hurt you back in return
