hello all .

I was listening to a song : by unknown brain - say goodbye

And I have some questions since I am not a native english speaker ...

#1
Uh, I'm sayin' bye to all the lies and all the times you cried
Sayin' that I wasn't right, that I was right by your side

here is what the male sings ... in bold I highlighted what I can't hear .. does he really sing ( right, THAT I ...)?

#2
I know that I, gotta stay away from all your games and
I know that I, found somebody else to love you dead

here is what the female sings ... in bold she sings the word GAMES .. but does she pronounce it correctly? some thing is off with the way she says GAMES .. :confused:
and
LOVE YOU DEAD .. all lyrics writes it like that .. but it makes no sense ..
what I hear more less is ( ... else to love to death ) am I right?

I need natives to listen to it carefully please :) , thanks all

here is the link to the song :

Does he really sing ( right, THAT I ...) "right, that I"?


Here is what the female sings.

I've marked the word "games" in bold she sings the word GAMES .. but does she pronounce it correctly? Something is off with the way she says GAMES "games". I'm confused.
and LOVE YOU DEAD .. "All you dead" - all the lyrics websites writes write it like that but it makes no sense. What I hear, more or less, is "... else to love to death". Am I right?

I need natives a native English speaker to listen to it carefully please. Thanks, all.

Welcome to the forum.

I don't have time to listen to a whole song to find some lyrics but I'm sure someone will do so at some point. In the meantime, please note my multiple corrections to your post above. It's important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark.
- Use quotation marks, not brackets, around quotes.
- Don't use an ellipsis instead of a full stop.
- Capitalise proper nouns correctly - names, song titles, film titles, book titles etc.
