[Intro]
You say you miss me but that means something so different to you
You say you want me but you only want another excuse
To say you got me 'cause you get high on the thought that you do
You love to think you're the man, boy it's not working for you
[Verse 1]
Except on any day that ends with "y"
I'm telling everyone that it's nothing
But I'm not cool, my god I might die
From wonderin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you never listen?
Why I over-romanticize?
Why I'm holding on to a version of you I made up, I designed?
[Chorus]
You say you miss me but that means something so different to you
You say you want me but you only want another excuse
To say you got me 'cause you get high on the thought that you do
You love to think you're the man, boy it's not working for you
[Verse 2]
Honestly I don't care, you've made every mistake
Is it your cold indifference that makes me feel this way?
Or your dirty blond hair, how you're pulling me close
Man I really dropped the bar down low, low, low, low
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay me down with reasons
That I've over-romanticized
'Cause I'm holding on to a version of you I made up, I designed
[Chorus]
You say you miss me but that means something so different to you
You say you want me but you only want another excuse
To say you got me 'cause you get high on the thought that you do
You love to think you're the man, boy it's not working for you
[Bridge]
I know you don't want me in the way that I want you
When you say that you need me, you just want me to want you
I know you don't want me in the way that I want you
When you say that you need me, you just want me to want you
[Chorus]
You say you miss me but that means something so different to you
You say you want me but you only want another excuse
To say you got me 'cause you get high on the thought that you do
You love to think you're the man, boy it's not working for you
(Boy it's not working, boy it's not working, boy it's not working, boy it's not working for you)
(Boy it's not working, boy it's not working, boy it's not working, boy it's not working for you)
