[Verse 1]
You called it quits in lowercase
One-line hit to the rib cage
“Yeah
I’m fine” is a lie on repeat
Staring at the cracks in my backseat
[Pre-Chorus]
You said “it’s not you”
Guess that makes it worse
’Cause I’m the same old mess
In a brand-new hurt
[Chorus]
I’ve already been declined
You can’t break what’s not on the line
You can’t leave what’s not in your life
So I’ll pretend I’m doing fine
Yeah
I’ve already been declined
Already declined
[Verse 2]
All our plans in a plastic bag
Left out front with the dead leaves and trash
You walk past like we never met
I mouth your name and swallow regret
[Pre-Chorus]
You said “we’ll be friends”
Then you ghosted that too
Guess I’m losing every version
I ever had of you
[Chorus]
I’ve already been declined
You can’t break what’s not on the line
You can’t leave what’s not in your life
So I’ll pretend I’m doing fine
Yeah
I’ve already been declined
Already declined
[Bridge]
So here’s my last return request
To the you that used to stay
Stamp it
Shred it
Burn the rest
I won’t chase you anyway (yeah)
[Chorus]
’Cause I’ve already been declined
You can’t break what’s not on the line
You can’t leave what’s not in your life
So I’ll pretend I’m doing fine
Yeah
I’ve already been declined
Already declined (already declined)
Already declined
