Played me now
Played me now
I don't think that you can save me now
Save me now
Save me now
Baby now
Baby now
You only call me when it's raining out
Raining out
Raining out
Been there, done that, seen it all before
Opened all these windows when I closed up all our doors
Spilling your feelings and slipping on these kitchen floors
Try to work it out but working out just got me sore
All your secrets kept in chambers
Close closed doors on my porch, now I'm hanging by hangers
Could've curled your toes instead of pointing them fingers
So now we're back to how we started out... As strangers
I bet you'd wish that you had played me now
Played me now
Played me now
I don't think that you can save me now
Save me now
Save me now
You ain't the one that I'm calling baby now
Baby now
Baby now
You only call me when it's raining out
Raining out
Raining out
Been there, done that, seen it all before
Opened all these windows when I closed up all our doors
In your basic car with your basic heart
And we're basically apart in your basic apart... ment
Meant to say something as you walked out the door
I'm so done with all your gimmicks, I ain't begging no more
I love the way you hate me, I hate the way you made me
I love the way you slave me but I hate the way you played me
I bet you'd wish that you had played me now
Played me now
Played me now
I don't think that you can save me now
Save me now
Save me now
You ain't the one that I'm calling baby now
Baby now
Baby now
You only call me when it's raining out
Raining out
Raining out

I bet you'd wish that you had played me now
You regret not having taken advantage of me earlier
I don't think that you can save me now
I don't believe that you can help me anymore
You ain't the one that I'm calling baby now
You're not the person I go to anymore
You only call me when it's raining out
You only reach out to me when you need something or when it's convenient for you
Been there, done that, seen it all before
I've experienced this situation and I'm familiar with how it plays out
Opened all these windows when I closed up all our doors
I tried to find a solution by exploring all possibilities, but ended up shutting everything and losing hope
Spilling your feelings and slipping on these kitchen floors
You expressed your emotions in a messy and uncontrolled way
Try to work it out but working out just got me sore
We attempted to fix things but it only caused more pain and discomfort
All your secrets kept in chambers
You keep your secrets and true feelings hidden away
Close closed doors on my porch, now I'm hanging by hangers
You closed the door on our relationship and left me hanging with nothing to hold on to
Could've curled your toes instead of pointing them fingers
You could have shown affection instead of blaming and criticizing me
So now we're back to how we started out... As strangers
Our relationship has completely deteriorated and there's no connection anymore
In your basic car with your basic heart
You have a simple and ordinary personality and lifestyle
And we're basically apart in your basic apart... ment
We're separated and living apart in your plain and unremarkable apartment
Meant to say something as you walked out the door
I wanted to speak my mind before you left, but didn't get the chance
I'm so done with all your gimmicks, I ain't begging no more
I'm tired of your games and no longer willing to plead or beg for your attention
I love the way you hate me, I hate the way you made me
I have mixed feelings about you - I enjoy the passion and intensity, but resent the pain and damage you caused
I love the way you slave me but I hate the way you played me
I appreciate your loyalty and devotion, but despise being taken advantage of and manipulated

I wanna hear your voice,
But I don't wanna respond.
Don't really have a choice,
Just kinda hit me that your gone.
Haven't spoke for a minute,
I been barely living,
I been, it only feels so fitting,
The only care that's your giving is the loving that I'm currently missing.
We made your wifi code and it's saved in my phone,
Sometimes I type it in the dots just to check if I'm home.
Just like ET, the stars on your ceiling,
Reflect my glow in the dark heart,
While its beating and I'm bleeding out.
We were bout that scream and shout,
But what was it that we screamed about?
With or without,
Couldn't figure what would sting worse,
Always wondered who would leave first.

Sorry I lost you,
But I got something to say before I leave.
I'm sorry that I miss you,
But it's cool, good to see you in my dreams.
Thanks for showing me how love feels,
Thanks for showing how loss feels, too.
Thanks for making me strong when things fall apart,
Thanks for the try, at least we had a good start.
Just wanted to hold you down
But you put me on hold,
And I gave you all my heart,
And I gave you my soul.
Baby every little thing is gonna be alright,
You'll always be on my mind,
Can't always be in my life.
I hope one day you'll smile,
With all the happy you need.
I hope one day you smile with all the happy of me,
I hope one day you'll see everything in you that I see,
And I hope one day you'll be as happy as you pretend to be.

There's ideas we had,
That we no longer know.
There's places we've been,
That we no longer go.
There's things we learn,
That we don't wanna know.
And there's people we love,
That we have to let go.
