[Intro]
[sparse jazz piano, walking bass, brushed snare]
[melancholic groove, lo-fi warmth]

[Chorus]
You know that I'm no good
Pain and smoke up in my hood
Only lately understood
Lost myself like I knew I would
No safe home left in the wood
You know that I'm no good

[Verse 1]
[raw baritone, intimate delivery, spoken-sung]
J'ai toujours su que j'étais taré
mais pas encore vu
le mal que je ferai
je suis juste un enfoiré
tu méritais pas
de me rencontrer

[Chorus]
[brass section enters, emotional swell]
You know that I'm no good
Pain and smoke up in my hood
Only lately understood
Lost myself like I knew I would
No safe home left in the wood
You know that I'm no good

[Verse 2]
[soft horn section, vulnerable tone, slower phrasing]
tant de force et courage
malgré ton enfance et ces dommages
tu as traversé tant de peine
comme seul fait la vie humaine
tu méritais l'amour vrai
pas le mal que je te ferai

[Chorus]
[full band, gritty soul intensity]
You know that I'm no good
Pain and smoke up in my hood
Only lately understood
Lost myself like I knew I would
No safe home left in the wood
You know that I'm no good

[Verse 3]
[stripped back, piano only, confessional delivery]
Tu ne crois plus en personne
et certainement plus en aucun homme
tout n'est plus que des mensonges
des cauchemars dans tes songes
Où est passée ta vie rêvée
celle que toi et moi on avait

[Chorus]
[upright bass prominent, snappy snare, brass stab]
You know that I'm no good
Pain and smoke up in my hood
Only lately understood
Lost myself like I knew I would
No safe home left in the wood
You know that I'm no good

[Verse 4]
[deep soul, heavy emotion, slow burn]
Tu continues d'être là
malgré chaque douleur en toi
tu portes mon nom comme une croix
malgré mes ombres
mes mauvais choix

[Chorus]
[organ swells, full brass section, gospel undertone]
You know that I'm no good
Pain and smoke up in my hood
Only lately understood
Lost myself like I knew I would
No safe home left in the wood
You know that I'm no good

[Verse 5]
[haunted baritone, near whisper, piano trembles]
J'aimerais que tu sois heureuse
malgré la tombe que tu creuses
tu as cru voir le bien en moi
c'était juste ton reflet à toi
tu as cru voir le bien en moi
c'était juste ton reflet à toi

[Outro - Chorus]
[full band fade, brass dying out, piano solo closes]
You know that I'm no good
Pain and smoke up in my hood
Only lately understood
Lost myself like I knew I would
No safe home left in the wood
You know that I'm no good

[End]
[piano note alone, silence]
