[Verse 1]
Somebody told me it was pointless for me to come back
Into your arms
Said you fucked another man
Finally, I knew this day would come
Whoa, oh-oh
'Cause I see fear in your eyes
You've been living out your life
As long as you know that when I land, you're mine
It's been exactly 365 since I've seen your face
I've been livin' on the road
And you've been livin' all alone at home
Girl, I hope, he made you satisfied (kimochi)
Well, baby, I won't cry
As long as you know that when I land, you're mine
[Chorus]
And you will never feel so pretty
And you will never feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
[Verse 2]
There are certain things that I've come to understand
Expectations can kill a simple man, simple woman, woah
I try to master the art of that far away love
But only so much can keep a woman warm
Now it's times like this that I say to myself
We've been livin' in a cold, cold world, cold world
But at least I have you to rely
Even if for a short time
As long as you know that when I land, you're mine
[Chorus]
And you will never feel so pretty
And you will never feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
And he can't make you feel this pretty
No, he won't make you feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
(Breakdown)
[Chorus]
And you will never feel so pretty
And you will never feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
And he can't make you feel this pretty
No, he won't make you feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
And you will never feel so pretty
And you will never feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
And he can't make you feel this pretty
No, he won't make you feel this beautiful
When I make it there
Oh, when I make it there
[Outro]
Quand une putain de colombe blanche chante sa chanson
C'est tout ce qu'on entend
Les jours se défilent comme de la ficelle dans le vent
Embobiné dans ma toile, je les dévoile à nouveau
10 ans mon ami, que rien d'autre ne compte
Elle n'était qu'une gamine à ce moment
Souffrant d'un cœur brisé, une douleur très profonde
C'est là où je l'ai aperçue, seule, prête à entamer ses 17 ans

Regarding these accusations of glamorizing misogyny and sexism, the video’s director, Sam Pilling, responded by saying:
I find the term ‘misogynistic’ completely inaccurate for this film. Being a misogynist means that you particularly hate women. In this narrative The Weeknd commits a crime of pass...
Once again, director Sam Pilling answered to the controversy caused by the video’s concept:
“In terms of glamorising guns I feel that many films, music videos and video games come under fire for that. And I think you could argue that many of them (including this one) are probably guilty. That said,...
