Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I really thought I made up my mind
– I tino whakaaro ahau i whakatau ahau
Hopped in the car and put it in drive
– I peke ki roto i te motokā a ka whakatakoto i te reira i roto i te puku
I tried to leave like a hundred times
– I whakamatau ahau ki te haere atu ano he rau nga wa
But something’s stopping me every time, oh-ho
– Engari he mea e aukati ana i ahau i nga wa katoa, oh-ho
Faking a smile while we’re breaking apart
– Faking he ataata i a tatou e wawahi ana
Oh, I never, never, never meant to take it this far
– Aue, e kore ahau, e kore, e kore i te tikanga ki te tango i te reira i tenei tawhiti
Too late to save me, so don’t even start
– He mutunga rawa ki te whakaora i ahau, na kaua e ara tīmata
Oh, you never meant to hurt me, but you’re making it hard
– Aue, kaore koe i te hiahia ki te whara i ahau, engari kei te uaua koe
Don’t tell me that you’re gonna miss me
– Kaua e korero mai ki ahau ka mihi koe ki ahau
Just tell me that you wanna kill me
– Korero mai ki ahau e hiahia ana koe ki te whakamate i ahau
Don’t say that you love me ’cause it hurts the most
– Kaua e mea e aroha ana koe ki ahau ‘no te mea e mamae te reira i te nuinga
You just gotta let me go
– Me tuku noa ahau e koe
I really thought this was for the best
– I tino whakaaro ahau koinei te mea pai rawa atu
It never worked last time that I checked
– Kāore I mahi i te wā whakamutunga I tirohia e au
I got this pain stuck inside my chest
– I mau tonu tēnei mamae ki roto i toku uma
And it gets worse the further I get, oh-ho
– A ka kino ake te mea ka nui ake taku whiwhi, oh-ho
Faking a smile while we’re breaking apart
– Faking he ataata i a tatou e wawahi ana
Oh, I never, never, never meant to take it this far
– Aue, e kore ahau, e kore, e kore i te tikanga ki te tango i te reira i tenei tawhiti
Too late to save me, so don’t even start
– He mutunga rawa ki te whakaora i ahau, na kaua e ara tīmata
Oh, you never meant to hurt me, but you’re making it hard
– Aue, kaore koe i te hiahia ki te whara i ahau, engari kei te uaua koe
Don’t tell me that you’re gonna miss me (Tell me that you miss me)
– Kaua e korero mai ki ahau ka mihi koe ki ahau (Korero mai ki ahau e mihi ana koe ki ahau)
Just tell me that you wanna kill me (Kill me)

Lie to me, tell me that you hate me (Tell me that you hate me)
– Teka ki ahau, korerotia mai ki ahau e kino ana koe ki ahau (Korerotia mai ki ahau e kino ana koe ki ahau)
Look me in the eyes and call me crazy (Crazy)
– Titiro mai ki ahau i roto i te kanohi, ka karanga ahau haurangi (Haurangi)
Don’t say that you love me ’cause it hurts the most (The most)
– Kaua e mea e aroha ana koe ki ahau ‘ no te mea e mamae ana te reira i te nuinga (te nuinga)
