About This Track

'Jaded' by Lights is a 2018 track from the album 'Scorpion Side B (Lights Covers)'. The lyrics sketch a brittle, self-protective mood, with the narrator feeling used and quickly learning where they stand, right down to the relational distance implied by doing things over text. There’s a refusal to “hurt nobody”, alongside an air of resignation, as if the only safe move is to stay out of the mess.

"Jaded" is a track by Lights, from the album Scorpion Side B (Lights Covers), released 9th July 2018. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lights.

Lyrics

Jaded

[Intro]

Dogs over on this side

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Leaving me

Dippin' out on me

Already got what you needed, I guess

Quickly learned yourself through me

Already gave you what you needed, I guess

I guess

That's why I'm not with nobody

I don't wanna hurt nobody

Did it over text, didn't call me

Still got love for your mommy

I know you wanna be somebody

Even if you gotta leave somebody, yeah

[Chorus]

Yes, I'm hurting, yes, I'm jaded (jaded)

Most of these things I don't wanna say (jaded)

I wanna be around while you chasin' (while you chasin' it)

You wanna hit me up when you make it

You'll try and come back when you famous

I always want the truth, but it's dangerous (dangerous, oh)

You got somethin' real, not basic

You wanna get with me, stop

Yes, I'm hurting, yes, I'm jaded (jaded)

Most of these things, I don't wanna say (say)

I wanna be around while you chasin'

(wanna be around)

You wanna hit me up when you make it (oh, yeah)

You'll try and come back when you famous

(back around)

I always want the truth, but it's dangerous

You got somethin' real, not basic

You wanna get with me, stop (playin')

Yeah, dogs on this side, dogs over on this side

[Verse 2]

Told me about all your insecurities, for what?

Dragged me like two hours to your family's house, for what?

Said you need some time, but I should stick around, for what?

Always felt like stickin' 'round's the same as being stuck

And like guns with the ink in, you're gettin' under my skin

Pretty little young thing

Had a honey convinced, got me too excited

You played me, you played me, you played me

Lowdown, dirty, shameful, crazy

I need to know how the new honey you got does the same thing

I do for a living, but is way less wavy

How you even managin' to keep straight faces

In all the pictures that I seen lately?

Lord knows you still look amazin'

That's besides the point I'm makin'

You're way too opinionated

To have to force it or have to fake it

[Chorus]

Yes, I'm hurting, yes, I'm jaded (jaded)

Most of these things I don't wanna say (jaded)

I wanna be around while you chasin' (while you chasin' it)

You wanna hit me up when you make it

You'll try and come back when you famous

I always want the truth, but it's dangerous (dangerous, oh)

You got somethin' real, not basic

You wanna get with me, stop

Yes, I'm hurting, yes, I'm jaded (jaded)

Most of these things, I don't wanna say (say)

I wanna be around while you chasin'

(wanna be around)

You wanna hit me up when you make it (oh, yeah)

You'll try and come back when you famous

(back around)

I always want the truth, but it's dangerous

You got somethin' real, not basic

You wanna get with me, stop
