What Did I Do
Kele ft. Lucy Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I didn't want to feel this
And I'm not gonna fall apart, I won't
Because you promised me forever
Like a fool I believed you
Now I cry and I think of all I can say to keep you here
What did I do wrong boy
What did I do
What did I do wrong
I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
Just tell me the words and I'll sing them
What did I do
What did I do wrong
What did I do wrong
What did I
Even if you won't say so
Baby I can feel the pain grow
Even if you won't say so, it's changed
And your voice called on the phone
And the lies that can fool
With your hand on my jeans as you squeeze my thigh, but your kiss is frozen
What did I do
What did I do wrong boy
What did I do
What did I do wrong
I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
Just tell me the words and I'll sing them
What did I do
What did I do wrong
What did I do wrong
What did I
What did I do
What did I do
What did I do wrong boy
What did I do
What did I do wrong
I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
Just tell me the words and I'll sing them
What did I do
What did I do wrong

And I didn't want to let you
I didn't want to say goodbye to you
Because I didn't want to feel this
Because I didn't want to undergo this pain
And I'm not gonna fall apart, I won't
I will not let myself crumble
Because you promised me forever
You pledged to stay with me forever
Like a fool I believed you
I trusted you naively
Now I cry and I think of all I can say to keep you here
Presently, I weep and ponder upon all that I can do to make you stay

You held my jeans while squeezing my thigh, but your kiss was cold
