Cops
Vanic X K.Flay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you held my neck
And said some shit so I've been hoping you do
Spill all your secrets in confidence
While I'm filing that as evidence
To stall the burn and calm my nerves after I had a few
But you're such a god damned pro never really know
If you're faking it
You're turning my insides, you're making me wish
That I was a better girl with a steady hand
That you wanted to be with
But even if the cops come calling
Said even if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
Even if you wreck me, even if you waste the youth I've got
But baby if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
I'll never talk-alk-alk-alk
When it's easy for you
Then there's always room for me
When you got some plans, a place to be
I'm a throw out ad in a magazine
You could do wrong, you could do wrong
Like hundred times
But I'll always search the scene
For ways to rationalize
You're making my will weak, you fuck with my head
Say you wanted me but you never wanted me
You wanted my hunger instead
You're making my will weak, this pit in my chest
Told me all about her then you swallowed those words
And snuck in my bed
But even if the cops come calling
Said even if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
Even if you wreck me, even if you waste the youth I've got
But baby if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
I'll never talk-alk-alk-alk
Even if the cops come calling
Said even if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
Even if you wreck me, even if you waste the youth I've got
But baby if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
The lyrics of Vanic X K.Flay's song "Cops" convey a complex range of emotions that arise in a toxic relationship. The song is about being in love with someone who treats you poorly and disregards your feelings. The opening lines, "I don't know if you see me the way I see you, but you held my neck and said some shit so I've been hoping you do," suggest that the singer is looking for validation from her partner, even though she knows that the relationship is dysfunctional. She goes on to describe how her partner manipulates her, while she tries to rationalize his behavior.
The second verse highlights the singer's inner turmoil as she struggles to reconcile her feelings with her partner's actions. She describes how her partner makes her feel sick inside and how she wishes she were a better person so that he would want to be with her. Despite this, she is willing to put up with his behavior and cover for him if the cops ever come calling. The repeating chorus, "even if the cops come calling, I'll never talk," serves as a mantra for the singer, reminding herself that she is willing to endure anything for the sake of love.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cops" paint a poignant picture of a toxic relationship where one partner is willing to sacrifice everything for love, even if it means tolerating abuse and dishonesty.

I don't know if you see me the way I see you
I'm unsure if you feel the same way about me as I do about you
But you held my neck
And said some shit so I've been hoping you do
Despite not knowing your true feelings for me, your physical actions and words have given me hope that you reciprocate my feelings
Spill all your secrets in confidence
While I'm filing that as evidence
To stall the burn and calm my nerves after I had a few
Confide in me, but know that I am keeping track of what you say to me for my own peace of mind
You're turning my insides, you're making me sick
But you're such a god damned pro never really know
If you're faking it
You make me feel uneasy, but your skill at hiding your true emotions leaves me uncertain if your feelings are genuine
You're turning my insides, you're making me wish
That I was a better girl with a steady hand
That you wanted to be with
Your effect on me is so strong that I wish I was a different person that you could love without hesitation
But even if the cops come calling
Said even if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
Even if you wreck me, even if you waste the youth I've got
But baby if the cops come calling
I'll never talk
I'll never talk-alk-alk-alk
I will never betray your trust, even if you hurt me or waste my time. I will always keep your secrets safe and never speak a word about you to anyone, even if the police are involved
When it's easy for you
Then there's always room for me
When you got some plans, a place to be
I'm a throw out ad in a magazine
You only seem to want me when it's convenient for you, and I feel disposable like an advertisement in a magazine
You could do wrong, you could do wrong
Like hundred times
But I'll always search the scene
For ways to rationalize
Even though you have done me wrong multiple times, I will always try to justify your behavior and make excuses for you
You're making my will weak, you fuck with my head
Say you wanted me but you never wanted me
You wanted my hunger instead
Your actions towards me make me feel powerless and confused. You claimed to want me, but in reality, you only wanted the attention and desire that I gave you
You're making my will weak, this pit in my chest
Told me all about her then you swallowed those words
And snuck in my bed
You make me feel vulnerable and anxious, especially when you talk about another woman but then sleep with me anyway

I don’t know if you see me the way I see you
But you held my neck and you said some shit
So I’ve been hoping you do
Spill all your secrets in confidence
Well I’m filing that as evidence
To stall the burn and calm my nerves after I’ve had a few
You’re turning my insides you’re making me sick
But you’re such a God damned
Pro never really know if you’re faking it
You’re turning my insides you’re making me wish
That I was a better girl, with a steady hand that you wanted to be with
But even if the cops come calling
Said even if the cops come calling
I’ll never talk
Even if you wreck me, even
If you waste the youth I’ve got
Baby if the cops come calling
I’ll never talk
When it’s easy for you then there’s always room for me
But when you got some plans, a place to be
I’m a throw out ad in a magazine
You could do wrong you could do wrong like hundred times
But I’ll always search the scene for ways to rationalize
You’re making my will weak, you fuck with my head
Say you wanted me but you never wanted me
You wanted my hunger instead
You’re making my will weak, this pit in my chest
Told me all about her then you swallowed those words and snuck in my bed
