Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I wanna call you on the telephone
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te karanga ki a koe i runga i te waea
I made a thousand people love me, now I’m all alone
– He mano nga tangata i aroha ki ahau, inaianei ko ahau anake
And my resolve is sinking like a stone
– A kei te heke taku whakatau ano he kohatu
What would I even say? I guess it’s something that just never goes away
– He aha taku e mea ai? Ki taku whakaaro he mea e kore rawa e ngaro
A crowd of thousands came to see me, and you couldn’t reply for three days
– He mano mano i haere mai ki te kite i ahau, a kihai i taea e koe te whakautu mo nga ra e toru
‘Cause I’m stupid and I’m damaged, and you’re a disaster
– ‘No te mea he kuware ahau, kua pakaru ahau, a he kino koe
When you walk into the room, oh, none of it matters
– A, no te haere koe ki te ruma, aue, kahore o reira faufaa
Oh, baby, I just buckle my resolution in tatters
– Aue, e te tamaiti, ka pakaru noa taku whakataunga i roto i nga pakaru
‘Cause I know it won’t work, but make it ache, make it hurt
– ‘No te mea e mohio ana ahau e kore e mahi i te reira, engari kia mamae i te reira, kia mamae i te reira
Keep me a secret, choose someone else
– Kia mau ki ahau he mea ngaro, whiriwhiri i tētahi atu
I’m still hanging off the buckle on your belt
– Kei te whakairi tonu ahau i te kopare i runga i to whitiki
The buckle on your belt
– Ko te buckle i runga i tou whitiki
The buckle on your belt
– Ko te buckle i runga i tou whitiki
The buckle on your belt
– Ko te buckle i runga i tou whitiki
Then you close the door and leave me screaming on the floor
– Na ka kati koe i te tatau ka waiho ahau e hamama ana i runga i te papa
Oh, baby, I just buckle, I can’t take it anymore
– Aue, e te tamaiti, ka piko noa ahau, kaore e taea e au te tango atu
Let you walk all over me, honey
– Kia haere koe i runga i ahau katoa, honey
You make me think my therapy is a waste of money
– Ka meinga ahau e koe kia whakaaro ko taku maimoatanga he whakapaunga moni
Drinking it down, haunting your city
– Te inu i te reira ki raro, haunting tou pa
Falling for anyone awful who tells me I’m pretty
– E hinga ana ki te tangata kino e mea mai ana ki ahau he ataahua ahau
I blocked your number, but you didn’t notice
– I aukati ahau i to tau, engari kaore koe i kite
Oh, God, I thought I was too
– Aue, Te Atua, i whakaaro ahau ko ahau rawa
Old for this
– He tawhito mō tēnei
I should be over it
– Me mutu taku mahi
I’m much too old for this
– He pakeke rawa ahau mō tēnei
But I’m not over it
– Engari kaore au i te mutunga
‘Cause I’m stupid and I’m damaged and you’re a disaster
– ‘No te mea he kuware ahau, kua pakaru ahau, he kino hoki koe
When you walk into the room, oh, none of it matters
– A, no te haere koe ki te ruma, aue, kahore o reira faufaa
Oh, baby, I just buckle my resolution in tatters
– Aue, e te tamaiti, ka pakaru noa taku whakataunga i roto i nga pakaru
‘Cause I know it won’t work, but make it ache, make it hurt
– ‘No te mea e mohio ana ahau e kore e mahi i te reira, engari kia mamae i te reira, kia mamae i te reira
I’m not better than this, show me what I’m worth
– Kaore au i te pai ake i tenei, whakaatu mai ki ahau he aha taku utu
Keep me a secret, choose someone else
– Kia mau ki ahau he mea ngaro, whiriwhiri i tētahi atu
I’ll still be here hanging off, I’m hanging off
– Ka noho tonu ahau ki konei e whakairi ana, e whakairi ana ahau
The buckle on your belt
– Ko te buckle i runga i tou whitiki
Buckle on your belt
– Buckle i runga i tou whitiki
Buckle on your belt
– Buckle i runga i tou whitiki
Buckle on your belt
– Buckle i runga i tou whitiki
