My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
For all the times that you rained on my parade
你讓我掃興的次數不計其數
And all the clubs you get in using my name
還老是用我的名字去夜店
You think you broke my heart oh girl for goodness sake
天吶,你居然以為我傷透了心,但根本沒這回事
You think I'm crying oh my oh well no I ain't
你還覺得我會為你以淚洗面,好吧,其實我不會
And I didn't wanna write a song cause
我更不會寫首歌紀念這段感情,因為
I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
我不想讓別人認為我還在乎
I don't but you still hit my phone up
你打我的電話但我不是很想接
And baby I be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
已經釋懷的我覺得你應該只是路人
I don't wanna hold back maybe you should know that
你也應該知道我已經不想回憶過去
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
我媽媽和善待人但是卻不怎么喜歡你
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
我永遠不喜歡感情中承認自己錯了
And I've been so caught up in my job didn't see what's going on
但是也許是我那段時間被工作困擾以致于不知道發生了什么
And now I know I'm better sleeping on my own
不過我知道現在一個人反而能睡得更好
Cause if you like the way you look that much
而如果你也喜歡上了你現在的樣子
Oh baby you should go and love yourself
那你就應該學會放手然后好好愛你自己
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
如果你還覺得我始終放不下
You should go and love yourself
那你就大錯特錯了 你應該放手然后去愛你自己啊
But when you told me that you hated my friends
你曾經說過你討厭我的那些朋友
The only problem was with you and not them
但是問題在于你而不是他們
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
而每次你反駁我
And tried to make me forget where I came from
都讓我感覺丟失了自我
網易云音樂里排第一的評論是:“用唱情歌的語氣告訴前女友滾遠點”。我個人認為這個解讀有點想當然了。歌詞里雖然在反復勸前任放手,但目的是讓她"love yourself"。當然最有力的證據應該是這一句,“And I didn't wanna write a song cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care”。嘴上說不要,但是身體卻很誠實。雖然說不想寫歌紀念這段感情,讓別人誤會,但其實歌詞里有不少描寫感情細節的部分。因此我認為這首歌表達的是,希望對方放下這段感情,開始嶄新的生活,別讓這段過去的記憶成為人生路上的累贅,好好愛自己。不過我覺得更深層次的理解也可以說自己其實也放不下,一直在逞強。這些勸說實際上也是在對自己說。
