[Intro]
[phone beep, soft static]
Girl: hey… it’s me again
I’m… I’m sorry
I messed everything up
Call me back… please
[Verse 1]
Girl:
It started as a joke
Truth or dare on the floor
Friends laughing in the smoke
Said your name, heard the roar
Screenshots on their phones
Told me, “make him fall”
So I learned all your songs
Just to laugh in the hall (I’m so cruel)
But then your stupid grin
When you walked me home
You talked about your day
Like you’d finally found a home
[Chorus]
Girl:
I only dated you on a dare
But I caught feelings, it’s not fair
I was playing, then I cared
Now I’m crying, are you there?
Boy:
You only dated me on a dare
But I still wish you were here
Was it fake or ever real?
Tell me something I can feel
Both:
This was supposed to be a game
Why’s my heart the one in flames?
[Verse 2]
Boy:
You were late the first time
Said you “almost didn’t come”
Laughing way too loud
Like you needed to stay numb
You knew all my bad jokes
Before I even spoke
Thought we were in sync
Didn’t know I was the hoax (that’s cold)
Then your best friend slipped
Eyes wide, couldn’t lie
Said, “I can’t believe
You’re still doing this, oh my”
Now every “I’m okay”
Got a question mark
Replaying every date
In the dark, in the dark
[Chorus]
Girl:
I only dated you on a dare
But I caught feelings, it’s not fair
I was playing, then I cared
Now I’m crying, are you there?
Boy:
You only dated me on a dare
But I still wish you were here
Was it fake or ever real?
Tell me something I can feel
Both:
This was supposed to be a game
Why’s my heart the one in flames?
[Bridge]
[beat drops, filtered pads]
Girl:
I swear I stayed past the dare
I deleted every pic, every dare-thread there
I chose you when the timer ran out
They all moved on, I couldn’t bow out
Boy:
You say you changed the rules
But I’m still feeling used
How do I trust the words
From the one who abused them?
Girl:
If I was just a dare
Why am I still here? (still here)
Calling your phone till it rings out
Choking on tears and doubt
[Chorus]
Girl:
I only dated you on a dare
But I fell deeper, I got scared
If I hurt you, I’m aware
But I love you, do you care?
Boy:
You only dated me on a dare
Yet I still wish you were here
If you mean it, make it clear
Say “it’s me,” I’ll pull you near
Both:
This was supposed to be a game
Let’s rewrite it, change the frame
If we’re broken, we can mend
Dare to love, not just pretend
[Outro]
[phone ringing, then click]
Boy: …hey
I got your message
If this is real
Call me back again (one more time)
