Everybody’s so punk on the internet
– Wonke umntu ufana ne-punk kwi-intanethi
Everyone’s unbothered ’til they’re not
– All unboxed ‘ de aziziye
Every joke’s just trolling and memes
– Yonke i-joke i-trolling nje kunye ne-memes
Sad as it seems, apathy is hot
– Okubuhlungu kukuba, ukungakhathali kushushu
Everybody’s cutthroat in the comments
– All mixed up on comments
Every single hot take is cold as ice
– Yonke into eshushu iyabanda njengomkhenkce
When you found me, I said I was busy
– Xa undifumene, ndathi ndixakekile
That was a lie
– Oko kwakububuxoki
I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness
– Ndatshwenyeka ngesifo esingenakuthelekiswa nanto
I’ve been dying just from trying to seem cool
– Ndizama nje ukubukeka kakuhle
But I’m not a bad bitch
– I’m not a bad sweatshirt
And this isn’t savage
– Kwaye oku akuyongozi
But I’m never gonna let you down
– Soze ndikuphoxe
I’m never gonna leave you out
– Soze ndikushiye
So many traitors
– Abangcatshi abaninzi
Smooth operators
– Abasebenzi abagudileyo
But I’m never gonna break that vow
– Soze ndiphinde ndisiphule eso sibhambathiso
I’m never gonna leave you now, now, now
– Soze ndikushiye, ngoku
You know, the last time I laughed this hard was
– Ukunyaniseka, ndahleka ngexesha lokugqibela
On the trampoline in somebody’s backyard
– Kwi trampoline ngasemva kwendlu yomntu
I must’ve been about eight or nine
– Ndimele ukuba ndineminyaka esibhozo okanye esithoba
That was the night I fell off and broke my arm
– Ngobo busuku ndawa phantsi ndaza ndophuka ingalo
Pretty soon, I learned cautious discretion
– Kungekudala, ndafunda ubulumko
When your first crush crushes something kind
– Xa isityumzi sakho sokuqala sityumza into enobubele
When I said I don’t believe in marriage
– Xa ndathi andikholelwa emtshatweni
That was a lie
– Oko kwakububuxoki
Every eldest daughter was the first lamb to the slaughter
– Yonke intombi endala yayiyimvana yokuqala yokuxhelwa
So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire
– Ngoko sonke sasinxibe njengeengcuka yaye sasikhangeleka singumlilo
But I’m not a bad bitch
– I’m not a bad sweatshirt
And this isn’t savage
– Kwaye oku akuyongozi
But I’m never gonna let you down
– Soze ndikuphoxe
I’m never gonna leave you out
– Soze ndikushiye
So many traitors
– Abangcatshi abaninzi
Smooth operators
– Abasebenzi abagudileyo
But I’m never gonna break that vow
– Soze ndiphinde ndisiphule eso sibhambathiso
I’m never gonna leave you now, now, now
– Soze ndikushiye, ngoku
We lie back
– Sixoka emva
A beautiful, beautiful time-lapse
– Beautiful, beautiful ixesha
Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs
– Ferris wheels, kisses, lilacs
And things I said were dumb
– Kwaye izinto ndathi ziyatha
‘Cause I thought that I’d never find that
– Kuba ndandicinga ukuba soze ndiyifumane
Beautiful, beautiful life that
– Ubomi obuhle, obuhle ukuba
Shimmers that innocent light back
– Kukhazimla ukukhanya okungenatyala emva
Like when we were young
– Njengathi xa sisebancinci
Every youngest child felt
– Wonke umntwana omncinci waziva
They were raised up in the wild
– Bakhuliswa endle
But now you’re home
– Ngoku usekhaya
‘Cause I’m not a bad bitch
– Kuba andingomntu ungendawo
And this isn’t savage
– Kwaye oku akuyongozi
And I’m never gonna let you down
– Soze ndikuphoxe
I’m never gonna leave you out
– Soze ndikushiye
So many traitors
– Abangcatshi abaninzi
Smooth operators
– Abasebenzi abagudileyo
But I’m never gonna break that vow (Never gonna break that vow)
– Soze ndiphinde ndisophule eso sibhambathiso (Soze ndiphinde ndisophule eso sibhambathiso)
I’m never gonna leave you now, now, now
– Soze ndikushiye, ngoku
Never gonna break that vow (Oh)
– Ungaze uphule eso sibhambathiso (Oh)
I’m never gonna leave you now, now
– Andiyi kuze ndikushiye, ngoku
I’m never gonna leave you now
– Andisoze ndikushiye ngoku
