lyrics

It felt like old times last time we were talking
‘Bout birthdays and bands, and classes and comics

But I can’t help but wonder if we
Were talking cause the girls you liked better were busy
Maybe that’s just me
Being paranoid easily

And I’m getting this strange sense of deja vu
Cause I know your type, yeah I’ve met girls like you
And I’m watching it play out as if it were a movie
But maybe you’ll stay
Well at least here’s to hoping

And I bet that your new friends know how to talk to boys
I know when we’re around them I’m your second choice
And no, I’m not exactly happy with it
But I’m just struggling to stay on the list

And I noticed you don’t wear your glasses anymore
You don’t call me on the weekends like you did before
And I still don’t hate you, cause I care way too much
But I can hear in the silence what’s about to come

And I know that I’ll cry by the time that we’re through
Yeah, I know that I’m gonna write hate songs about you
But now I’m just trying to force serotonin
So maybe you’ll stay
Well at least here’s to hoping

But maybe if I started putting on makeup,
Maybe one day if my face starts to clear up
Maybe then you could find some time to talk
Maybe then you would sit with me at lunch

So I did everything I put on a cute outfit
I showed up to school, hopelessly hoping
I waved at you, you didn’t wave back at me
So I’m telling myself that you just didn’t see

And I can’t look back and tell myself
That I should’ve known about you
Cause I already knew
