[English]

You played it cool, and I played it dumb.

Don't you think I'm a little too young to be messed with like that?

So convincing, you made it look fun.

Laugh it off, but the damage is done. Saying, "Baby, just relax" .

I got my hopes too high. You hardly said goodbye,

then casually walked out of my life.

Oh, we don't talk anymore, talk anymore,

talk anymore. Gave me the silent treatment.

The least you could've done was give me a reason.

And I can't ignore, I can't ignore,

I can't ignore the way I hate you for leaving.

Too much free time staring up at thе ceiling.

It's been a month since you wеnt and checked in.

I wanna ask, "Where the hell have you been?" 'Cause I've been right where you left me .

Pour my self-control down the sink.

Almost die every time the phone rings.

Why won't somebody help me? I got my hopes too high,

reading between the lines. Am I supposed to read your mind?

Oh, we don't talk anymore, talk anymore,

talk anymore. Gave me the silent treatment.

The least you could've done was give me a reason.

And I can't ignore, I can't ignore,

I can't ignore the way I hate you for leaving.

Too much free time staring up at the ceiling.

You're a narcissist, I'm an optimist.

Name a deadlier combo. Something's wrong with us,

ain't it obvious? Build me up and then,

oh no. Call me just a friend, here we go again .

Tell him all that you hate me,

hate me. But it's like you waste me. 'Cause we don't talk anymore,

talk anymore, talk anymore. Gave me the silent treatment.

Did you go find someone new or am I the reason?

And I can't ignore, I can't ignore,

I can't ignore the way I hate you for leaving.

Too much free time staring up at the ceiling.
