Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I wanted you to know, I’ve learned to live without it
– Ngangifuna wazi, ngiye ngafunda ukuphila ngaphandle kwalo
And even though it’s colder now, I no longer feel surrounded
– Futhi nakuba kubanda manje, angisazizwa ngizungezwe
And you never listened to me, and that’s the thing I tell the others
– Futhi awuzange ungilalele, futhi yilokho engikutshela abanye
You were my harlequin bride, I was your undercover lover, but no
– Wawungumakoti wami we-harlequin, ngangingumthandi wakho ofihlakele, kodwa cha
You never saw me naked, you wouldn’t even touch me
– Awukaze ungibone nginqunu, wawungeke ungithinte
Except if you were wasted
– Ngaphandle uma ulahlekile
But you were trying your best, and that’s the thing I tell the others
– Kodwa wawuzama konke okusemandleni akho, futhi yilokho engikutshela abanye
I was your robot companion, you were my favourite colour, and, oh
– Ngangingumngane wakho oyirobhothi, wawungumbala wami engiwuthandayo, futhi, oh
I’m caught up on the person I tried to turn myself into for you
– Ngibambeke kumuntu engizame ukumguqula abe nguwe
Someone who didn’t mind the push-pull parlour games
– Umuntu ongenandaba nemidlalo yokudonsa nokudonsa
Someone who wasn’t always cryin’ on the journey back
– Umuntu owayengakhali ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ebuya
Someone who didn’t feel the low blows either way
– Umuntu ongazange azizwe eshaywa kanzima noma kunjalo
Thought I was waitin’ for you, when all along
– Ngangicabanga ukuthi ngikulindele, lapho sonke lesi sikhathi
It was you with the countdown kill switch
– Kwakunguwe nge countdown kill switch
And it was me with the blindfold on
– Futhi kwakungimi ngiboshwe amehlo
And I was trying my best, and that’s the thing I tell the mirror
– Futhi ngangizama konke okusemandleni ami, futhi yilokho engikutshela isibuko
I was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other
– Ngangithandana nomcabango wokuthi sasithandana
What might be good for your heart
– Yini engase ibe yinhle enhliziyweni yakho
Might not be good for my head
– Kungase kungabi kuhle ekhanda lami
And what was there at the start
– Futhi yini eyayikhona ekuqaleni
Might not be there in the end
– Kungenzeka ukuthi ngeke kube khona ekugcineni
Do you wanna hurt me?
– Ingabe ufuna ukungilimaza?
Do you wanna hurt me?
– Ingabe ufuna ukungilimaza?
‘Cause nobody hurts me better
– Ngoba akekho ongilimaza kangcono
Do you wanna love me?
– Ingabe ufuna ukungithanda?
Do you wanna love me?
– Ingabe ufuna ukungithanda?
‘Cause nobody hurts me better
– Ngoba akekho ongilimaza kangcono
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
– Wafika njengephupho, walibeka phansi njengentuthu
We used to be a team, now we let each other go
– Sasivame ukuba iqembu, manje sesiyekana
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
– Umlotha wakho kagwayi usalokhu unamathele ezingutsheni zami
I don’t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
– Angifuni ukuhlala, ngifuna nje ukukwazisa
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
– Wafika njengephupho, walibeka phansi njengentuthu
We used to be a team, now we let each other go
– Sasivame ukuba iqembu, manje sesiyekana
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
– Umlotha wakho kagwayi usalokhu unamathele ezingutsheni zami
I don’t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
– Angifuni ukuhlala, ngifuna nje ukukwazisa
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
– Wafika njengephupho, walibeka phansi njengentuthu
We used to be a team, now we let each other go
– Sasivame ukuba iqembu, manje sesiyekana
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
– Umlotha wakho kagwayi usalokhu unamathele ezingutsheni zami
I don’t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
– Angifuni ukuhlala, ngifuna nje ukukwazisa
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
– Wafika njengephupho, walibeka phansi njengentuthu
We used to be a team, now we let each other go
– Sasivame ukuba iqembu, manje sesiyekana
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
– Umlotha wakho kagwayi usalokhu unamathele ezingutsheni zami
I don’t wanna stick around
– Angifuni ukuhlala
No one’s gonna save me from my memories
– Akekho ozongisindisa ezinkumbulweni zami
Nothing to lose, but I would’ve given anything
– Akukho lutho engingalulahlekelwa, kodwa ngabe nganikela nganoma yini
To get closer to you and all your enemies
– Ukuze usondele kuwe nakuzo zonke izitha zakho
I’ve got a few of my own
– Nginabambalwa bami
And this throne didn’t come with a gun, so I’ve got a different energy
– Futhi lesi sihlalo sobukhosi asizange sifike nesibhamu, ngakho nginamandla ahlukile
I still see you when the lights get low
– Ngisakubona lapho izibani ziphela
I still hear you when I’m on my own
– Ngisakuzwa lapho ngingedwa
The parasites in the nightmares calling my name like, “Please just let me go”
– Izinambuzane ezisemaphusheni amabi ukubiza igama lami like, ” Ngicela ungivumele ngihambe”
This one’s for you and your problems, your good day job
– Lona ngawe nezinkinga zakho, umsebenzi wakho omuhle wosuku
Your bad karma, what are you afraid of?
– I-karma yakho embi, yini oyesabayo?
The same trauma, show me what you’re made of
– Ukuhlukumezeka okufanayo, ngibonise ukuthi wenzeni
‘Cause you talk about your constant pain like I ain’t got none
– Ngoba ukhuluma ngobuhlungu bakho obungapheli njengokuthi anginalo
And I’ve learned to live beside it, and even though it’s over now
– Futhi ngiye ngafunda ukuphila eceleni kwalo, futhi nakuba sekuphelile manje
I will always be reminded (Reminded, reminded, reminded)
– Ngiyohlale ngikhunjuzwa (ngikhunjuzwa, ngikhunjuzwa, ngikhunjuzwa)
