Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You know you broke my heart in two

You know exactly what you did to me

I've had it up to here with you

No I don't wanna be at your pity party

You've been runnin' 'round, runnin' your mouth just like a track star

Tellin' all of your friends that it's been so hard

When you're the one who said we were done

Said you fell out of love, boy, you must think that I'm dumb

You can call me a psycho

You can call me a liar

You can call me an arsonist, I should set you on fire

You can call me a mess, and say what you like

You can call me whatever you want, but don't call me tonight

No, don't call me tonight

One eight hundred boy just stop

Maybe that's the number you should really be dialing

'Cause you know I won't pick up

And listen to you tell me that you miss me while you're crying

'Cause you've been runnin' 'round, runnin' your mouth just like a track star

Tellin' all of your friends that it was my fault

When you're the one who said you were done

Said you fell out of love, guess you're fresh out of luck

You can call me a psycho

You can call me a liar

You can call me an arsonist, I should set you on fire

You can call me a mess, and say what you like

You can call me whatever you want, but don't call me tonight

You can call me a psycho

You can call me a liar

You can call me an arsonist, I should set you on fire

You can call me a mess, and say what you like

You can call me whatever you want, but don't call me tonight

Don't call me with that sad boy bullshit

Don't call me acting like you're sorry

Don't wanna hear your sad boy bullshit

Don't wanna hear the same sob story

Same sob story

You can call me a psycho

You can call me a liar

You can call me an arsonist, I should set you on fire

You can call me a mess, and say what you like

You can call me whatever you want, but don't call me tonight

No, don't call me tonight

You can call me a psycho

You can call me a liar

You can call me an arsonist, I should set you on fire

You can call me a mess, and say what you like

You can call me whatever you want, but don't call me tonight

Don't call me with that sad boy bullshit

Don't call me acting like you're sorry

Don't wanna hear your sad boy bullshit

Don't wanna hear the same sob story

Same sob story

You can call me a psycho

You can call me a liar

You can call me an arsonist, I should set you on fire

You can call me a mess, and say what you like

You can call me whatever you want, but don't call me tonight

No, don't call me tonight

Don't call me tonight
