I don’t think there are enough songs about friendship heartbreak and I went through a really painful one this year so I wanted to write about it! One of my best friends ghosted me and I didn’t really know why so it was really rough. I was thinking about her every single day for months afterwards and...
[Verse 1]
Zero to one hundred
Slam the door without saying goodbye
I'll leave mine wide open
And just put my own problems aside
[Pre-Chorus]
But the ice was always thinner
Than the papers on the table
I was wrapped around your finger
And you knew it, you knew it
[Chorus]
Yeah, you taught me to smoke cigarettes
Now you're teaching me how hard it is to forget

(Zero to one hundred)
Nobody breaks my heart like my best friend
('Course I fucking miss you)
Nobody breaks my heart
(Zero to one hundred)
Nobody breaks my heart like my best friend
('Course I fucking miss you)
Nobody breaks my heart
