Lirik dan Makna Lagu gives you hell - Jacob Bae

(Gives you hell, gives you hell)

I got something

Funny that you might wanna hear (that you wanna hear)

Bout that someone

I just wanna clear up the air (wanna clear up the air)

Oh you think he's perfect, but you don't know (don’t know)

What he’s been doing

Behind your back down on the low (down on the low)

You make me wanna say

Go away go away

Make me say

Not again not again

Know that you'll see

You won't be better off without me

Hope he gives you hell

You brought this on yourself

Missed all the signs and you ran away

Ran away

Thinking I was the one doing you wrong

Hope he gives you hell

After all that you've done

There's no way that you would know

About it

You're so toxic

Don't blame me for anything

Why can't you see all the signs yet

It's right in front of you

You're so delusional

Maybe that's why (maybe that’s why)

You make me wanna say

Go away go away

Make me say

Not again not again

Know that you'll see

You won't be better off without me

Hope he gives you hell

You brought this on yourself

Missed all the signs and you ran away

Ran away

Thinking I was the one doing you wrong

Hope he gives you hell

After all that you've done

There's no way that you would know

About it

You're so toxic

Don't blame me for anything

Hope that one day you'll finally see

You leaving me has only set me free

You set me free

Hope he gives you hell

You brought this on yourself

Missed all the signs and you ran away

Ran away

Hope he gives you hell

After all that you've done

There's no way that you would know

About it

You're so toxic

Don't blame me for anything
