Always cold
While you'd self-incriminate
By avoiding all my questions and calling me an instigator
Cut me down
Always calling me unstable
You so easily can make me cry just 'cause you were in a mood
And you'd say
Call me out
You would say I need attention
Just because I put on makeup
To ironically look good for you
Cut me to pieces
While you watched me disintegrate
Because you like to tell me how you hate
All the ways I'm not enough for you
Then you'd say
Baby, don't go
I didn't know
I'll change, I swear
I'll change, I swear
Baby, don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Baby, don't go
I didn't know
I'll change, I swear
I'll change, I swear
Baby, don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Never guilty
Say it ain't your fault
Because you had an emotionally abusive daddy
And 'cause of this you don't know how to act
Poor, poor baby
Say you can't help the fact that you're so crazy
And you're so good at making me feel guilty
For trying to walk away
'Cause I'm tired of being mad
Then you'd say
Baby, don't go
I didn't know
I'll change, I swear
I'll change, I swear
Baby, don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Baby, don't go
I didn't know
I'll change, I swear
I'll change, I swear
Baby, don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah, Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah, Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah, Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah, Ah, ah, ah, ha, yeah
About This Song

The lyrics detail a cycle where the narrator is constantly criticized, called unstable, and made to feel inadequate by a partner who undermines her confidence while she desperately seeks validation. The track's sparse, moody electronic elements and Banks' ethereal voice create a sense of isolation that perfectly captures the emotional fragmentation described in the verses. This song established Banks as a distinctive voice in alternative R&B, showcasing her ability to transform personal pain into compelling art that resonates with anyone who has experienced manipulative relationships.
