Fourth Period Heartbreak

[Verse 1]
You said meet by the vending machine
Lip gloss
Backpack
Chipped black jeans
I was late
You were scrolling his feed
Guess I missed the warning
Shared fries
Fake fights
Borrowed hoodies
You wore mine
Then you gave back the sleeves
You said “forever” in a crowded canteen
Then laughed like you were joking
[Chorus]
Fourth period heartbreak
Slamming doors between the lockers
You walk past
I fake it
Act tough
But I still watch ya
Call it “just a hallway phase”
But my chest feels like it’s bleeding
Fourth period heartbreak
Ring the bell
Pretend I’m healing
[Verse 2]
You sat front row
I took the back seat
Your name carved deep in my desk
In ink
You passed notes saying “this is too much”
Then passed them right through me
Your friends knew first
Then the whole damn class
You said
“We’re cool” and you hugged me fast
But you wiped your eyes on somebody else’s jacket
Before the next test started
[Chorus]
Fourth period heartbreak
Slamming doors between the lockers
You walk past
I fake it
Act tough
But I still watch ya
Call it “just a hallway phase”
But my chest feels like it’s bleeding
Fourth period heartbreak
Ring the bell
Pretend I’m healing
[Bridge]
Guess we only lasted one semester
Guess I never read your answers right
You moved on like switching out a subject
I’m stuck retaking us at night (woah)
[Chorus]
Fourth period heartbreak
Slamming doors between the lockers
You walk past
I hate it
Still hope that you might stop and falter
Call it “just a hallway phase”
But it wrecked my teenage feeling
Fourth period heartbreak
Ring the bell
I’ll keep pretending I’m healing
