Like Me Anymore
Maddie Zahm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I was your fave, then talked behind my back
Why would I even try when you're only sometimes nice?
Why would you even try with someone you don't even like?
What goes around comes around
When I ain't around I'm sure you'll talk about me
If gossip's the only thing you're saying
I don't really care if you like me anymore
I played the game and gave a damn
And now I don't
What goes around comes around
When I ain't around I'm sure you'll talk about me
If gossip's the only thing you're saying
I'm wondering what the hell it says about you
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
If you like me anymore
Used my loneliness and then you set the trap
Shared my secrets to say she ain't the pack (rude)
Why would I even try when you're only sometimes nice
Addicted to the hype only drama satisfies (uh)
What goes around comes around
When I ain't around I'm sure you'll talk about me
If gossip's the only thing you're saying
I'm wondering what the hell it says about you
I don't really care if you like me anymore
I played the game and gave a damn
And now I don't
What goes around comes around
When I ain't around I'm sure you'll talk about me
If gossip's the only thing you're saying
I'm wondering what the hell it says about you
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
If you like me anymore
I don't care
What you say about me
When I'm not there
But just because
I'm unaware
Doesn't make it right for you to
Overshare
(Yeah, that checks out)
Ooh
Ooh (I'm done)
Yeah, yeah
(It's been real)
Ooh, yeah, yeah
(Think it's time I see myself out
Bye)
What goes around comes around
When I ain't around I'm sure you'll talk about me (hey)
If gossip's the only thing you're saying
I'm wondering what the hell it says about you (that's right)
I don't really care if you like me anymore (come on, hey)
I played the game and gave a damn
And now I don't (no, I don't)
What goes around comes around
When I ain't around I'm sure you'll talk about me (sure you talk about me)
If gossip's the only thing you're saying
I'm wondering what the hell it says about you (come on, hey)
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
If you like me anymore

I'm unaware
Doesn't make it right for you to
Overshare
(Yeah, that checks out)

If our relationship eventually deteriorates and you only speak negatively about me, it reflects poorly on your own character. I no longer care if you hold positive feelings towards me because in the past, I actively tried to maintain our relationship, but now I am no longer invested.
I don't even care, I don't give a damn
If you like me anymore
I am at the point where your opinion of me does not matter anymore, and I do not care if you have positive or negative feelings towards me.
