# JADED [Intro – Breathless, distant harmonies] Mmm... Yeah... Maybe it ain't them... Maybe it's me too. Ooh... [Verse 1 – Intimate, conversational] Another "good morning" From somebody I don't trust Another "I've been thinking" Boy, you ain't been thinking much I know how this goes I've seen this movie before You tell me I'm different Then treat me like all the girls before And I hate that I expect it Before you even let me down I can hear goodbye Every time you come around Maybe I've been hurt so long I don't know what's real 'Cause even when you love me right I'm waiting not to feel [Pre-Chorus – Melody begins climbing] I used to fall so easy Now I question everything You say, "Baby, trust me" And all I hear is— Here we go again... [Chorus – Simple, melodic, stacked harmonies] I'm jaded Jaded Love don't hit the same no more I'm jaded Jaded I don't even chase it anymore I want love But I hate it Want your touch Then I can't take it Maybe I'm just... Jaded Jaded Love don't hit the same no more [Post-Chorus – Airy background vocals] (No more...) No, no... (Jaded...) Mmm... [Verse 2 – Slightly stronger, rhythmic delivery] Maybe it's the men I choose Same soul, different face Different number in my phone Same lies, different day One was jealous One was selfish One couldn't put his phone away One said he'd never hurt me Then hurt me in the same damn way And maybe I'm the common thread That's hard for me to say 'Cause red flags look like roses When you're lonely anyway Ooh... I gave chances to potential Made excuses for the truth Kept falling for who they could be Instead of looking at the proof Damn... [Pre-Chorus] I used to fall so easy Now I question everything You say, "Baby, trust me" And all I hear is— Here we go again... [Chorus – Fuller harmonies] I'm jaded Jaded Love don't hit the same no more I'm jaded Jaded I don't even chase it anymore I want love But I hate it Want your touch Then I can't take it Maybe I'm just... Jaded Jaded Love don't hit the same no more [Bridge – Beat strips down, vulnerable] When did I get so cold? When did "I miss you" Start sounding like a lie? When did butterflies Start feeling like a warning sign? When did "forever" Start sounding temporary? When did being loved Get so damn scary? [Pause] I don't wanna be this girl... Checking your phone 'cause somebody checked mine. Pulling away 'cause somebody wasted my time. Making you pay for a debt that ain't yours... But baby... I've been here before. [Beat returns] And I don't know how to love you Without waiting for the hurt. [Final Chorus – Emotional, layered vocals] I'm jaded Jaded Love don't hit the same no more I'm jaded Jaded I don't even chase it anymore I want love But I hate it Want your touch Then I can't take it Maybe I'm just... Jaded Jaded Love don't hit the same no more [Background Vocals] (Jaded...) Don't wanna be... (Jaded...) Don't wanna be... [Lead – ad-lib] I still want love... I just don't know if I believe in it. [Outro – Instrumental fading] Maybe it ain't love I'm tired of... Maybe I'm tired of who I become trying to find it. [Jaded...] Mmm... [Jaded...] Love don't hit the same no more.
