[Verse 1]
I swear to God, I haven't thought of you in ages
I've lived a lot, I've loved and lost, I've let the rain in
I'm pretty sure, I mean I've heard, you never faced it
I understand, I changed your plans, I had to, baby
[Chorus]
And all I did was right by me, I heard that almost killed you
Well I knew it, I know you, I called it
And I think that you earnestly have waited on apologies
But I can't pretend that I'm sorry
When I'm not sorry
[Verse 2]
So aren't you sad about the fact that you can't write me?
I cheered the loudest for you when you won your trophiеs
I'm on the ground, how's the weathеr on your planet?
An empty house, the noise is loud, it's how you stand it
[Chorus]
And don't you feel alone at night or sorta kinda daily?
Well I knew it, I know you, I called it
And it makes me wanna cry sometimes
But don't you know the deal now?
Well I just can't pretend that I'm sorry
When I'm not sorry
I swear to God, I haven't thought of you in ages
I've lived a lot, I've loved and lost, I've let the rain in
I'm pretty sure, I mean I've heard, you never faced it
I understand, I changed your plans, I had to, baby
[Chorus]
And all I did was right by me, I heard that almost killed you
Well I knew it, I know you, I called it
And I think that you earnestly have waited on apologies
But I can't pretend that I'm sorry
When I'm not sorry
[Verse 2]
So aren't you sad about the fact that you can't write me?
I cheered the loudest for you when you won your trophiеs
I'm on the ground, how's the weathеr on your planet?
An empty house, the noise is loud, it's how you stand it
[Chorus]
And don't you feel alone at night or sorta kinda daily?
Well I knew it, I know you, I called it
And it makes me wanna cry sometimes
But don't you know the deal now?
Well I just can't pretend that I'm sorry
When I'm not sorry
[Bridge]
And we don't even know each other now
And I'd blow all my plans if you'd meet me out
We could talk, we could get it, we could both calm down
Down (Down, down)
[Outro]
It all changed for me and I told you (Down)
(Down, down)
You had the wrong idea about me (Down)
(Down, down)
And all I ever did was consider you (Down)
(Down, down)
Until all I could do was consider me (Down)
(Down, down, down, down)
I was your entertainment from a dark place
(Down, down, down, down)
You don't know how to step outside yourself
(Down, down, down, down)
It's not my fault you can't sit with the hard thing
(Down, down, down, down)
You really thought you would get what you wanted
(Down, down, down, down)
You really thought you would get what you wanted
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
And we don't even know each other now
And I'd blow all my plans if you'd meet me out
We could talk, we could get it, we could both calm down
Down (Down, down)
[Outro]
It all changed for me and I told you (Down)
(Down, down)
You had the wrong idea about me (Down)
(Down, down)
And all I ever did was consider you (Down)
(Down, down)
Until all I could do was consider me (Down)
(Down, down, down, down)
I was your entertainment from a dark place
(Down, down, down, down)
You don't know how to step outside yourself
(Down, down, down, down)
It's not my fault you can't sit with the hard thing
(Down, down, down, down)
You really thought you would get what you wanted
(Down, down, down, down)
You really thought you would get what you wanted
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
