Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daytrip took it to 10 (hey)

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought
I didn't mean to make you mad, I don't like when you're upset
I'ma call you later on, baby girl, don't you forget
I'ma take you from this party, we might go and have some sex
Or we do that later on, now we lit like cigarettes

I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought (Cardi)

Look, gunshot, gunshot
Thought you heard about me, must not, must not
Last nigga did me dirty, dirty
Like a bathroom in a truck stop, truck stop
Now my heart, it feels like Brillo, I'm hard like armadillo
Can't be no nigga ex, I could only be his widow
That's a fact, dressed in black, my heart break, bones will crack
I be chilling, watching Oxygen, my favorite show is "Snapped" ("Snapped", "Snapped")
Now you know how I get, every day, a foreign whip
Rather see you in a hearse than see you with some other bitch
Huh?

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought

(I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy




So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you)

Ver1 :
Ngày hôm qua
Vẫn còn có nụ cười bên nhau và tiếng ca
Vẫn còn có tiếng gọi tương lai mong tiến xa
Vẫn còn từng hình ảnh cùng từng khoảnh khoắc cảm giác như luôn hoà nguyện mà
Nhưng sự lạnh lùng
Đang dần mang đi cái mà mình gọi là hạnh phúc
Mang đi cái không bao giờ đang yêu mà đánh mất
Anh đã cố đã cố đã cố đã cố đã cố nắm giữ nhưng tuyệt vọng đã đánh thức
Em nói yêu anh mà sao
Giao động ai khác là sao
Yêu là nói thật, lời nói dối , đâu cần nói, mà sao
Em thích người khác ah`
Cứ nói ra đi
Anh đâu phải đàn bà cứ nói anh chọn lối mà đi
Đúng không có tương lai
Em đúng mình khó tiếp tục thương ai
Khi đang yêu mà phải cắn chặt lời chia tay
Trên con đường dài
Chờ đợi là chướng ngại
Nếu thích em cứ quay lại

Hook:
Ngủ ngon nha em
Khi ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền , chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Em hãy ngủ ngon nha em
Hãy nghe từng bài cũ
Để nó thay thế cho anh bằng từng lời ru em ngủ

Ver 2 :
Cứ việc ngủ đi em
Nhưng ngày mai thức giấc
Anh sẽ để em trong tim để nó không còn bị mất
Để nó như bộ phim cho mọi người xem hay nhất
Thà anh yêu em trong tim, còn hơn nhìn em đi mất
Nhiều khi yêu cái vô tri, còn vui hơn yêu người thật
Cứ để cho anh đi, vì em là người anh yêu nhất
Cứ để anh đau đi, thì sự buồn bã em sẽ mất
Khi anh đi, sự suy nghĩ, của em sẽ trở lại đời thật
Trước khi đi, điều anh rất, cần từ em là
Giữ lại chữ “Yêu“ những thứ khác không cần thêm và
Nước mất em, để người khác, khác vào tim mà
Nếu em buồn, vì người khác, thì em cứ biết là
Anh luôn đứng, trong gốc tối, luôn lắng nghe lời em nói
Luôn mang từng lời nói tới, để em cười mà thôi
Nói luôn từng lời nói dối, để em nhếc mép trên môi
Nhưng lặng trong đêm tối, đó là tình yêu đơn côi

Hook:
Ngủ ngon nha em
Khi ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền , chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Em hãy ngủ ngon nha em
Hãy nghe từng bài cũ
Để nó thay thế cho anh bằng từng lời ru em ngủ

Ver 3
Em có biết , một điều là
Anh muốn được lắng nghe em nói một điều mà
Phút cuối cùng em vẫn cắn chặt không nói ra
Một câu mà ngày nào em cũng từng nói mà
Sao hôm nay, anh cảm thấy, hơi quá xa
Xin em đừng khóc
Để trái tim đó đi vào đúng nơi cần mọc
Để bờ vai ai là điểm tựa. Khi em cần khóc
Để sớm mai, hay tối nay, có một ai, cũng bên tây, gọi cho em nói
Em cứ mặc kệ Anh, ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền, chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Tình yêu là sự chấp nhận
Đôi bên không oán hận
Điều anh hạnh phúc, là niềm vui em có người đón nhận
Thanh thãn đi em
Khi ngày mai không còn ai cản chân em
Khi ngày mai không còn ai làm phiền em
Khi ngày mai, không còn ai, làm em khóc, ở mỗi đêm
Không cón ai, thét bên tai, anh chờ em

Hook:
Ngủ ngon nha em
Khi ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền , chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Em hãy ngủ ngon nha em
Hãy nghe từng bài cũ
Để nó thay thế cho anh bằng từng lời ru em ngủ

Lyrics:
Daytrip took it to 10 (hey)

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought
I didn't mean to make you mad, I don't like when you're upset
I'ma call you later on, baby girl, don't you forget
I'ma take you from this party, we might go and have some sex
Or we do that later on, now we lit like cigarettes

I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought (Cardi)

Look, gunshot, gunshot
Thought you heard about me, must not, must not
Last nigga did me dirty, dirty
Like a bathroom in a truck stop, truck stop
Now my heart, it feels like Brillo, I'm hard like armadillo
Can't be no nigga ex, I could only be his widow
That's a fact, dressed in black, my heart break, bones will crack
I be chilling, watching Oxygen, my favorite show is "Snapped" ("Snapped", "Snapped")
Now you know how I get, every day, a foreign whip
Rather see you in a hearse than see you with some other bitch
Huh?

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought

(I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you)
