In this emotionally charged collaboration, Mahalia and Ella Mai explore the themes of betrayal and self-respect within a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a narrative where the protagonist grapples with the pain of infidelity. Despite her deep love for her partner, she cannot overlook the betrayal, emphasizing that forgiveness is not an option. The repeated refrain underscores her resolve to leave, as staying would contradict her principles. Through poignant questions and reflections on trust, the song delves into the complexities of love's blind spots and the necessity of self-preservation when trust is broken. Ultimately, it serves as an anthem for those who choose dignity over deceit in their relationships.
What You Did
Lyrics
I know what you did
Yeah, I know, I know
And I wanna talk 'bout it
And I know you don't
I been holding guard for
So long, so long
And I don't know where to start
I don't know where to start, no
Tell me where you hide, where do you go?
Tell me is she nice, does she know I know?
Tell me why you lie, tell me why
I don't know what you are
I don't know what you are, no
What you did, uh
Yeah, you know I love you but I can't forgive it
You could tell me stay, but I have to go 'cause
I would not expect someone to stay around
If I let them down, oh
Oh, it's funny how
Right when I let my guard down
You play around
And no, not this time, we can't hash it out
It's too late for me to stay
I wish all the things you say
Was what your behavior displayed
But, no
I could've done without lies, lies
And although I know love is blind, blind
This just don't feel right
Ain't no more we, ain't no more you with me
What you did (what you did)
Yeah, you know I love you but I can't forgive it (I can't forgive)
You could tell me stay, but I have to go (I gotta go) 'cause
I would not expect someone to stay around
If I let them down, like
What you did (what you did)
Yeah, you know I love you but I can't forgive it
You could tell me stay (hey), but I have to go 'cause
I would not expect someone to stay around
If I let them down, like
Oh, you've become the reason I'm so down, uh (down, down)
Oh, I won't excuse you
I don't wanna go down, yeah (down, down)
Do you know that you've been the reason I'm so low? (Low, low, low)
So you told me to stay here
but you know that I won't
'Cause I still can't believe
What you did, no
Yeah, you know I love you but I can't forgive it (babe)
You could tell me stay, but I have to go 'cause
I would not expect someone to stay around
If I let them down, like (like this)
What you did
Yeah, you know I love you but I can't forgive it (no)
You could tell me stay, but I have to go (have to go)
I would not expect no one to stay around
If I let them down, like this
Wow (don't apologize, please)
I would never, I would never do it, babe, no (after all, you've had your fun)
(Don't try change my mind, please)
Don't try change my mind
(Baby, me and you are done)
Me and you are done
No, oh-ooh
