SOULHEAD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night & day you confuse me
Are you playing with my mind?
Wonder why I stay with ya?
Thinking about it.
But I don't know why...
You said you'd never leave me,
Hurt me, stressing me, use me.
But you cheating on me

That's a no-no-no
That's a no-no-no

どうして君はいつも acting funny?
気付かないとでも do you think?
Honey... Mail, Address, Number,
Check なんてしなくても
I notice your change
かいかぶらないで I'm not a fool
It hurt me so bad like burning my heart,
I want you to know that
I always blue
Because of you...

Where are you now?
なんて I... everytime thinking
もうやめにしたいの don't confuse me
Why the sudden change?
Confess me
何が気に入らないの?
こんなにも I still in love with you, baby.

Every night & day you confuse me
Are you playing with my mind?
Wonder why I stay with ya?
Thinking about it.
But I don't know why...
You said you'd never leave me,
Hurt me, stressing me, use me.
But you cheating on me
That's a no-no-no
That's a no-no-no

私の目を見て then prove yourself
言い訳じゃなく tell me, now.
Phony... 全部 lie
甘い言葉don't wanna hear
All it sound like is NO clear
近寄らないで you what a shame!
I got love for you, but...
I sick of ya
It's All bull shit
It's killing me
You can't deny it, right?

How you said "Bye-bye" to her, but I don't think so
もうムリよ何度言われても I can't trust you
What's her name? The gig is up!
消えないよ思い出してしまうの
Won't take you back
But really, I was in love with you, baby...

Every night & day you confuse me
Are you playing with my mind?
Wonder why I stay with ya?
Thinking about it.
But I don't know why...
You said you'd never leave me,
Hurt me, stressing me, use me.
But you cheating on me
That's a no-no-no
That's a no-no-no

I let you slide, you know
How can I love ya?
My life was all about ya (you know)
Remember...
When we first met,
Kissing all night,
Shared a laughs,
And talked about the things that love
But something going down
Without my knowing
So I crying constantly
Why you hurt me so bad...

ふぅーん。すべてバレバレ。
少しは隠してよね do behind me
パトロールかパトロンか知らないけど
あと少しでシャレにならないところまで来てるの
一瞬の繋がりのhigh のためだけに吐いたlie
相手にする子は悲しいほど冴えてない
その場限り見境ない
手当たりしだい選ばない
アンバランスなくらい
Why haven't I find another guy?
見破れるアリバイ
All I say is BYE!!
バカらしい作り話
よそよそしい態度でおびえっぱなし
Go ahead どうぞ勝手にdo what you want!
これほど残念な男はNO! NO! NO!

Every night & day you confuse me
Are you playing with my mind?
Wonder why I stay with ya?
Thinking about it.
But I don't know why...
You said you'd never leave me,
Hurt me, stressing me, use me.
But you cheating on me
That's a no-no-no
That's a no-no-no

Every night & day you confuse me
Are you playing with my mind?
Wonder why I stay with ya?
Thinking about it.
But I don't know why...
You said you'd never leave me,
Hurt me, stressing me, use me.
But you cheating on me

That's a no-no-no
That's a no-no-no
