  • Introduced me to your family
    Watched my favorite shows on your TV
    Made me breakfast in the morning
    When you got home from work

    Making plans to travel 'round the world
    Said we'd always put each other first
    Old love songs we used to play to
    Funny, now I hate you

    Now I remember when you'd call me late at night
    I gave you my hours and advice just tryna fix you
    And all your daddy issues
    But now I don't even miss you anymore

    So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
    All the hours spent giving advice
    On how to write your songs
    All you did was prove me wrong
    When you said you loved me
    Well, you must've had your fingers crossed

    Shoulda paid attention to my friends
    Telling me how bad it's gonna end
    Always giving their opinions
    Now I wish I would have listened

    I could say I'm sorry but I'm not
    You don't deserve the one thing that you lost

    And now I remember when you'd call me late at night
    And I gave you my hours and advice just tryna fix you
    And all your daddy issues
    But now I don't even miss you anymore

    So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
    All the hours spent giving advice
    On how to write your songs
    All you did was prove me wrong
    When you said you loved me
    Well, you must've had your fingers crossed

    (Oh, oh) your fingers crossed
    (Oh-oh, oh-oh) your fingers crossed
    (Oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, when you said you loved me
    Well, you must've had your fingers crossed

    So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
    All the hours spent giving advice
    On how to write your songs
    All you did was prove me wrong
    Wish you said you loved me
    When you didn't have your fingers crossed Writer/s: Fransisca Hall, Jakke Erixson, Lauren Spencer-Smith
