  • Wait a minute, let me finish
    I know you don't care
    But, can you listen?
    I came committed, guess I overdid it
    Wore my heart out on a chain
    Around my neck, but now it's missin', mm

    Da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Oh, mm

    So I think I better go
    I never really know how to please you
    You're lookin' at me like I'm see-through
    I guess I'm gonna go
    I just never know how you feel
    Do you even feel anything?

    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Ooh, mm

    You said, "Don't treat me badly"
    But you said it so sadly
    So I did the best I could
    Not thinkin' you would have left me gladly
    I know you're not sorry
    Why should you be?
    'Cause who am I to be in love
    When your love never is for me?
    Me

    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Oh, mm

    So I think I better go
    I never really know how to please you
    You're looking at me like I'm see-through
    I guess I'm gonna go
    I just never know how you feel
    Do you even feel anything? Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas Baird O'Connell

  • Billie Fan from Princeton, Nj, UsaBillie Eilish and Finneas peed in their pants! Everyone, save them.
  • Lwnsky from SwedenTbh i only searched up why its calles 8 becuz my as my nearest relization is in wish u were gay she said (12)step just for you (11) heys (10) fingrr tearin oit my hair (9) timrs you never made it there then she skipped 8 its so cool and so nice
  • Munaa from LondonHow did she come up with some good song. I literally felt it. Literally.
  • Smk from Atlanta, Ga@Amy - She uses a play on words for “8” - “I ATE (8) alone at 7; you were six minutes away.”
  • Amy from GermanyI have a question that has been bugging me for months. In "wish you were gay" the lyrics have every number from twelve to one and the only number that's missing is eight...which just happens to be the title of another song of hers which has no connection to its lyrics and meaning at all. I'm just confused.
  • Jazzyb from EnglandI love Billie Eilish a lot but I always have questions.
    8. Turn it on its side: infinity. Is this a sign or clue to something?
  • Anonymous from UsaIn an interview she actually says that she wrote the song from the perspective of a past boyfriend. It’s not about how someone hurt her, it’s about how she hurt someone.
