Verse 1: Phoebe Ryan]
What I offer is something rare
If your heart’s changing, then that’s not fair
You might hate this, but I don’t care
I don’t care
I’m acting up, ’cause you don’t listen to me
[Verse 2: Quinn XCII]
What I give you is something real
I thought that my heart was yours to steal
You’re so absent, like what’s the deal?
Hopefully you’re acting up ’cause you can’t live without me
[Pre-Chorus: Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII]
When it comes through
I see it always leads to one thing
But I need something more than your time
Yeah, I love me some love and affection
I’m so tired of being stressed and polite
[Chorus: Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII]
I don’t wanna waste another moment with us apart
Baby, this should be simple
Loving me is not that hard
You’re always on my agenda
You’ve been on it from the start
But when you act like it’s nothing
It’s a middle finger to my heart
[Verse 3: Quinn XCII & Phoebe Ryan]
I think it’s crazy, I know this is wrong
But I can’t stop you from doing what you want
You’re so amazing
Before you’re gone, just tell me
Are you coming back to us eventually?
[Pre-Chorus: Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII]
When it comes through
I see it always leads to one thing
But I need something more than your time
Yeah, I love me some love and affection
I’m so tired of being stressed and polite
[Chorus: Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII]
I don’t wanna another moment with us apart
Baby, this should be simple
Loving me’s not that hard
You’re always on my agenda
You’ve been on it from the start
But when you act like it’s nothing
It’s a middle finger to my heart
[Post-Chorus: Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII, Phoebe Ryan]
It’s a middle finger to my
Middle finger to my heart
Middle finger to my heart (when you act like it’s nothing)
Middle finger to my heart (it’s a middle finger to my)
Middle finger to my heart (it’s a middle finger to my)
[Bridge: Phoebe Ryan, Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII]
My heart is in your hands for a reason
Don’t act like it’s nothing, yeah
I’m giving you my all but you don’t see it
You act like it’s nothing
Still–
[Chorus: Phoebe Ryan, Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII]
I don’t wanna another moment with us apart
Baby, this should be simple
Loving me is not that hard
You’re always on my agenda
You’ve been on it from the start
But when you act like it’s nothing
I don’t wanna another moment with us apart
Baby, this should be simple
Loving me is not that hard
You’re always on my agenda
You’ve been on it from the start
But when you act like it’s nothing
It’s a middle finger to my heart
[Post-Chorus: Phoebe Ryan & Quinn XCII, Phoebe Ryan, Quinn XCII]
It’s a middle finger to my
Middle finger to my heart yeah-yeah
Middle finger to my heart (when you act like it’s nothing)
Middle finger to my heart (it’s a middle finger to my)
Middle finger to my heart (it’s a middle finger to my)

the melody of the verse and chorus is so damn good. I love the "always on my agenda" bit!
Dakota Bird
Okay but why isn’t Phoebe mainstream yet? She’s so deserving of it
lexsunsh1ne
honestly thought she would be at this point especially with her collabs with blackbear and the chainsmokers and her collab with jaymes young was so popular too
Ravenous
Her biggest collab was with alan walker but for some reason no on remembers that
Rio Ferianto
Underrated ?
Merry
Ravenous she literally never collaborated with Alan Walker
