Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
They’re cutting her up on the operating table, but it wasn’t enough
– Bamnqumla phezu kwetafile yokusebenza, kodwa akwanele
The front desk pages, it’s a call for the ages
– Ngaphambili hae amaphepha, ngu bizani iminyaka
They couldn’t save her, they couldn’t save her
– Abazange bakwazi ukumsindisa, abazange bakwazi ukumsindisa
The surgeon said, “She had a hole in her heart
– Ugqirha wathi, ” wayenomngxuma entliziyweni yakhe
But it wasn’t her fault, it was there from the start”
– Kodwa yayingelotyala lakhe, yayilapho kwasekuqaleni”
Trying to love you through an open wound
– Zama ukukuthanda ngenxeba elivulekileyo
‘Cause everything I put inside there just fell right through
– Kuba yonke into endiyifakileyo ngaphakathi kuyo yawa kanye
And I hold the parts together with some pressure and glue
– Kwaye ndibambe iinxalenye kunye noxinzelelo kunye neglu
And you’re running in slow-mo to the hospital room
– Nwaiiza nande-ukhalelani esibhedlele
If you only knew
– Ukuba ubusazi kuphela
How bad it hurt me too
– Hayi indlela eyandikhathaza ngayo
So now you can take the money, you can get on a plane
– Ngoku ungathatha imali, ungahamba ngenqwelomoya
To a beautiful island, build a house in my name
– Home iindaba khanikhe nizikhumbuze njengentsapho
You can donate all the money to somebody in pain
– Unganikela ngayo yonke imali kumntu osentlungwini
And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame
– Kwaye unokuphumla intloko yakho phantsi kwaye ungaziva uneentloni
I never loved you
– Zange ndikuthande
I never loved you
– Zange ndikuthande
I never loved you in vain
– Zange ndikuthande ngelize
They’re sewing me shut
– Bayandivala
Opening the doors and then removing their gloves
– Vula iingcango kwaye ususe iiglavu zabo
Taking the long way to the end of the hallway
– Thatha indlela ende ukuya esiphelweni sepaseji
They couldn’t save her, they couldn’t save her
– Abazange bakwazi ukumsindisa, abazange bakwazi ukumsindisa
You told the nurses that we argued a lot
– Uxelele abongikazi ukuba sixoxe kakhulu
And you’re rambling on about the last time we fought
– Kwaye uyangxama malunga nexesha lokugqibela salwa
You drove off screaming on the night you were caught
– Uqhube wakhwaza ebusuku wabanjwa
You left me standing in the parking lot
– Undishiyile ndisekhayelitsha
I took off chasing you down Route 22
– Ndasuka ndanileqa Indlela 22
‘Cause you never listen and I’m terrible too
– Kuba awuphulaphuli kwaye nam ndiyoyikeka
You kept on driving far away from the issues
– Uqhuba kude nemiba
If you stopped, I would’ve kissed you
– Ukuba uyekile, ngendakuphuza
So now you can take the money, you can get on a plane
– Ngoku ungathatha imali, ungahamba ngenqwelomoya
To a beautiful island, build a house in my name
– Home iindaba khanikhe nizikhumbuze njengentsapho
You can donate all the money to somebody in pain
– Unganikela ngayo yonke imali kumntu osentlungwini
And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame
– Kwaye unokuphumla intloko yakho phantsi kwaye ungaziva uneentloni
I never loved you
– Zange ndikuthande
I never loved you
– Zange ndikuthande
I never loved you in vain
– Zange ndikuthande ngelize
Flash of light, heat of fire
– Ukukhanya, ubushushu bomlilo
Head on concrete and the screeching of tires
– Intloko kwikhonkrithi kunye nokukhala kwamatayara
Sound of sirens, rush of pain
– Doloris doloris, doloris doloris doloris
I almost thought I heard you call my name
– Bendicinga ukuba ndizokubiza ngegama lam
So now you can take the money, you can get on a plane
– Ngoku ungathatha imali, ungahamba ngenqwelomoya
To a beautiful island, build a house in my name
– Home iindaba khanikhe nizikhumbuze njengentsapho
You can donate all the money to somebody in pain
– Unganikela ngayo yonke imali kumntu osentlungwini
And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame
– Kwaye unokuphumla intloko yakho phantsi kwaye ungaziva uneentloni
I never loved you
– Zange ndikuthande
I never loved you
– Zange ndikuthande
I never loved you in vain
– Zange ndikuthande ngelize
