Saw you last with your friends again
You look even better than the day we met
It's been a lonely time, tell me how you've been
Tryna keep it casual, but you're in my head

We had about a thousand conversations
That's why we don't talk anymore
Now I got about a thousand things to say to you
But I'm down to four, it goes like

Fuck you
I hate you
I miss you
Sucks to know you

Got me acting but you're innocent
Breaking someone's heart is never elegant, yeah
Save your sorrys, it's irrelevant
I bet you'd do it again, and again, and again

We had about a thousand conversations
We don't talk anymore
Now I got about a thousand things to say to you
But I'm down to four, it goes like

Fuck you
I hate you
I miss you
Sucks to know you

Fuck you (fuck you)
I hate you (oh-oh-ooh)
I miss you (I miss you, miss you)
Sucks to know you

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I never meant to say "I miss you"
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I never meant to say
