[Chorus]
Your heart (So tainted)
Your mind (So tainted)
Your soul (So tainted)
Your eyes (So tainted)
Your heart (So tainted)
Your mind (So tainted)
Your soul (So tainted)
Your eyes (So tainted)
[Verse 1]
Can we make this work? Can we make amends?
I don't wanna fight no more arguin'
Heard them word of mouth, tell me where you been
You don't gotta lie, say he was just a friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I just can't choose how to believe
You, that's the hardest part
I barely eat, yeah, I barely sleep
You, i can't heal your heart
[Chorus]
'Cause your heart (So tainted)
Your mind (So tainted)
Your soul (So tainted)
Your eyes (So tainted)
Your heart (So tainted)
Your mind (So tainted)
Your soul (So tainted)
Your eyes (Eyes)
[Post-Chorus]
You say you won't do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
But that's just all you do, yeah, that's just all you do to me
Say you won't do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
But that's just all you do, yeah, that's just all you do to me
[Verse 2]
Try to make excusses, just blame it on abuse
Seems to be your favorite line for you to use
You see i relate that we trauma bond
Hold you in my arms, did i read you wrong?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I just can't choose how to believe
You, that's the hardest part
And I barely eat, yeah, I barely sleep
You, i can heal your heart
[Chorus]
'Cause your heart (So tainted)
Your mind (So tainted)
Your soul (So tainted)
Your eyes (So tainted)
Your heart (So tainted)
Your mind (So tainted)
Your soul (So tainted)
Your eyes (So tainted)
[Post-Chorus]
Say you won't do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
But that's just all you do, yeah, that's just all you do to me
Say you won't do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
But that's just all you do, yeah, that's just all you do to me
[Outro]
Say you won't
[Chorus: Khalid]
The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the extent to which Khalid perceives his partner as tainted. This repetition underscores the depth of his disillusionment and the pervasive sense of betrayal that affects his perception of his partner's heart, mind, soul, and eyes.
[Verse 1: Khalid]
In this verse, Khalid questions whether their relationship can be salvaged and confronts his partner about inconsistencies and lies. His struggle to accept the truth and his partner's potential dishonesty highlight his emotional conflict and the difficulty of trusting someone who has hurt him.
[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
The pre-chorus conveys Khalid's inner turmoil and emotional exhaustion. He is conflicted about his ability to trust his partner and is struggling with the impact this distrust has on his well-being. The inability to heal his partner's heart while dealing with his own emotional distress is a central theme here.
[Post-Chorus: Khalid]
The post-chorus reinforces the recurring disappointment Khalid feels. His partner's assurances of loyalty are contradicted by their actions, leaving Khalid feeling continually wronged and disillusioned.
[Verse 2: Khalid]
In this verse, Khalid reflects on his partner's tendency to blame external factors for their behavior and questions whether their shared trauma is leading to a harmful bond. He expresses doubt about whether his support and affection were misguided, emphasizing his confusion and hurt.
[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
The repetition of the pre-chorus reaffirms Khalid's struggle with trust and his ongoing emotional distress. It highlights his frustration with being unable to heal both himself and his partner and the difficulty of reconciling his feelings with the reality of their relationship.
