Yesterday I fell in love
Today feels like my funeral
I just got hit by a bus
Shouldn’t have been so beautiful
Don’t know why I gave my heart, gave my trust, gave everything
You think that if I had the chance
To do it over again
I’d do something different
Make better decisions
Save me from my ignorance
But I keep
Making the same mistakes before I
I see the danger but I go forward
I’m sitting here trying to keep my composure
Knowing inside I’m broken and tore up
She got me gone I’m on her like a drug
I try to go but end up wanting more
Stuck in my head, vivid as a picture
I wanna be clean but I can’t get rid of her
Uh
Give my all you take it from me
And don’t even replace it for me
I wish you just fake it for me
I wish I can make you love me more
You can’t tell I fucks with you I needed you
I thought that you understood that based on how I treated you
I don’t pay attention to the rumors that you feed into
Know you’re missing something I wish I was what completed you
She’s like a drug
And I don’t think I can get rid of her
‘Cause she got me in this curse
And it dawned on me I can’t do nothing with her
This woman’s worth
I can’t find my way out
And it hurts
I tried but she won’t let me go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh she won’t let me go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I feel like a killer hit me
The weapon was concealed initially
But I felt so much pain from it
You deserved to feel it with me more
I feel like I beg with you I plead with you
I don’t comprehend how you can’t love when it’s so easy to
I thought you could do it I believed in the naive in you
I just need to breathe baby now I got the freedom to
Damn?
Yesterday I fell in love
Today feels like my funeral
I just got hit by a bus
Shouldn’t have been so beautiful
Don’t know why I gave my heart, gave my trust, gave everything
You think that if I had the chance
To do it over again
I’d do something different
Make better decisions
Save me from my ignorance
But I keep
Making the same mistakes before I
I see the danger but I go forward
I’m sitting here trying to keep my composure
Knowing inside I’m broken and tore up
She got me gone I’m on her like a drug
I try to go but end up wanting more
Stuck in my head vivid as a picture
I wanna be clean but I can’t get rid of her
The Pain of Love and Letting Go
In “Curse,” Chris Brown delves deep into the emotional aftermath of a love that feels as intoxicating as it is destructive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of heartbreak, likening the end of a relationship to the pain of a funeral and the chaos of being hit by a bus. Brown’s vulnerability shines through as he reflects on the repetitive cycle of giving his all, only to be left empty and longing. The song captures the addictive nature of a toxic love, one that he acknowledges is harmful yet impossible to resist. Through poignant metaphors and raw emotion, “Curse” resonates with anyone who has struggled to break free from an intense connection, even when it hurts.
