It’s like she’s always in the room
– He rite tonu ki te noho tonu ia i roto i te ruma

I’d always give when you wanted more, but

God forbid I draw any attention to questions you never answered
– E kore e whakaaetia e te atua ka aro atu ahau ki ngā pātai kāore koe i whakautu
Well, except for, “Who’s fucking you better?”

– Ka taea e koe te korero mai ki ahau kaore koe e aroha ki a ia
But you should probably tell her too
– Engari me korero ano hoki koe ki a ia
