Verse 1)
We were kids with scraped-up knees,
Backyards, secrets, stupid dreams,
Now you’re just a ghost in my phone,
And I’m screaming in this room alone.
(Pre-Chorus)
I told the truth, you turned away,
I hate myself for what I say,
But worse than that — the way you act,
Like we were never more than that.
(Chorus)
’Cause I don’t wanna miss you, but I do,
And I don’t wanna need you, but it’s true,
I wish I could forget every night we had,
But you’re the best and worst thing I’ve ever had.
(Verse 2)
Homecoming lights, I thought you’d see,
The same damn fire that’s burning me,
But you just laugh, and you just hide,
While I’m bleeding on the other side.
(Pre-Chorus)
So I’ll stay quiet, let it rot,
Pretend I’m fine when I’m not,
Guess forever was just a word,
I can’t believe what I just heard.
(Chorus)
’Cause I don’t wanna miss you, but I do,
And I don’t wanna need you, but it’s true,
I wish I could forget every night we had,
But you’re the best and worst thing I’ve ever had.
(Bridge – raw, shouted)
You don’t reply, you don’t explain,
I’m choking on your silent games,
I’d burn it all just to forget,
But you’re the scar I can’t regret.
(Chorus – bigger, gang vocals)
’Cause I don’t wanna miss you, but I do,
And I don’t wanna need you, but it’s true,
I wish I could forget every night we had,
But you’re the best and worst thing I’ve ever had.
(Outro – fading, bitter)
We were kids with scraped-up knees,
Now you’re just a ghost to me…
