  • You played it cool, and I played it dumb
    Don't you think I'm a little too young
    To be messed with like that?
    So convincing, you made it look fun
    Laugh it off, but the damage is done
    Saying, "Baby, just relax" (relax, hmm)

    I got my hopes too high
    You hardly said goodbye
    Then casually walked out of my life

    Oh, we don't talk anymore, talk anymore, talk anymore
    Gave me the silent treatment
    The least you could've done was give me a reason
    And I can't ignore, I can't ignore, I can't ignore
    The way I hate you for leaving
    Too much free time staring up at the ceiling

    It's been a month since you went and checked in
    I wanna ask, "Where the hell have you been?"
    'Cause I've been right where you left me (right where you left me)
    Poured my self-control down the sink
    Almost die every time the phone rings
    Why won't somebody help me?

    I got my hopes too high
    Read in between the lines
    Am I supposed to read your mind?

    Oh, we don't talk anymore, talk anymore, talk anymore
    Gave me the silent treatment
    The least you could've done was give me a reason
    And I can't ignore, I can't ignore, I can't ignore
    The way I hate you for leaving
    Too much free time staring up at the ceiling

    You're a narcissist, I'm an optimist
    Name a deadlier combo
    Something's wrong with us, ain't it obvious?
    Build me up and then, oh, no
    Call me "just a friend," here we go again (oh, no)
    Tell them all that you hate me
    Hate me, it's like you erased me

    'Cause we don't talk anymore, talk anymore, talk anymore
    Gave me the silent treatment
    Did you go find someone, or am I the reason?
    And I can't ignore, I can't ignore, I can't ignore
    The way I hate you for leaving
    Too much free time staring up at the ceiling

    Give me a reason for the treatment I've been feeling
    Give me a reason for you leaving, I've been screaming Writer/s: Freya Skye, Max Margolis, Sophie Alexandra Tweed-Simmons
