Half past eleven**

*(Verse 1)*

It’s half past eleven, and I’m still lost in you

Thinking ‘bout the good times, and the wreckage too

Round and round, I keep retracing my mistakes

‘Cause all I wanna do—oh, all I wanna do—

Is be close to you

*(Pre-Chorus)*

But I can’t keep pretending

Can’t let you fester in my heart anymore (No more, no more)

*(Chorus)*

I’ve let you go (Let you go)

I’ve let you come back (Come back)

I let myself believe your lies again (Again, again)

So tell me—please tell me—

How do you seem so fine with this?

When you made me believe I mattered (Ooooh)

That I was someone you cared for

*(Post-Chorus – Backup Vocals: "I hate this feeling")*

I hate, hate, hate this feeling (Hate this feeling)

I hate, hate, hate this feeling (Ooooh, yeah)

*(Verse 2)*

Memories linger, like echoes in my chest

Your words were a promise, but they fade just like the rest

I know I should be stronger, know I should move on

But something ‘bout your touch—oh, something ‘bout your touch—

Still keeps me holding on

*(Pre-Chorus)*

But I can’t keep pretending

Can’t let you fester in my heart anymore (No more, no more)

*(Chorus)*

I’ve let you go (Let you go)

I’ve let you come back (Come back)

I let myself believe your lies again (Again, again)

So tell me—please tell me—

How do you seem so fine with this?

When you made me believe I mattered (Ooooh)

That I was someone you cared for

*(Bridge – soft, building up)*

Maybe I was just a moment (Just a moment)

A name you learned to say (Ooooh)

But you were my everything

And I—I was just a game

*(Final Chorus – Bigger, more intense)*

I’ve let you go (Let you go)

I’ve let you come back (Come back)

I let myself believe your lies again (Again, again)

So tell me—please tell me—

How do you seem so fine with this?

When you made me believe I mattered (Ooooh)

That I was someone you cared for

*(Outro – fading, haunting harmonies)*

I hate, hate, hate this feeling (Hate this feeling)

I hate, hate, hate this feeling (Ooooh)
