My English interpretation
And you say that you’re leaving. And you say you mean what you say when you say it. And you say you hope I can understand all of this. And you say you hope we can still be friends and that I should shoot you a text sometime to let you know how I’m doing. And you say you’re terribly sorry about all this.
And then, on top of that—on top of every fucking thing else—you say: Why don’t you have anything to say in response? And then I think, okay, fine—since you asked—I’ve definitely got something to say: Please stay, please stay, please stay, please don’t stay the way you are.
And don’t call me in the middle of the night with one of your little tantrums because things didn’t go your way and you miss me.
And maybe that’s what I should’ve said. Truth is, I’ve never forgiven you. I’m so fucking over you, and I want to thank you for making it so easy. That’s why the next time we happen to cross paths, let me give you some friendly advice that’ll save you some embarrassment. Please do not ask me that same old question, because your whole “say something” thing… my goodness, woman. And this time around, I won’t hold my tongue.
Please stay, please stay, please stay, please don’t stay the way you are.
And don’t call me up in the middle of the night when everything’s all fucked up and you miss me.
I’ve said so much that I can’t even stand to hear myself speak anymore.
