Missed calls and ignored texts and
Late night, I'm stayin' up stressin'
Girl I got you on my mind
I swear this happens every time (yeah)

But what about out last fight?
Yeah I know it happened last night
You can put that in the past right?
I'm just tryna' live the fast life (uh)

And what's love without trust girl?
And what's love without lust girl?
I've been thinkin' bout us girl
I've been thinkin' bout

So what do we do now?
Everything we built, we broke it
It's all shattered and broken
I can't get you outta my head
Its all fallin' down
Time that we get goin'
Things you never told me
I thought you were the one

Yeah I thought you were the one
But I guess thins change
No it's nothin' with the fame
Girl, I swear it's all the same
There's a difference in interest
I feel it when we're kissin'

One day, you're here
And the next day, you're missin' (uh)
Can we be consistent? (girl)
Are you even listenin'? (yeah)
Got me feelin' so distant
I'll be gone in an instant

So what do we do now?
Everything we built, we broke it
It's all shattered and broken
I can't get you outta my head
Its all fallin' down
Time that we get goin'
Things you never told me
I thought you were the one

So what do we do now?

(Yeah)
Really I wanna know
Lookin' at you in the eyes
Even though mine are kinda low
And it's easy to see
That something is hurting you so
Bad
I know that
The rhythm and flow that
I'm putting on this slow track
Are gonna make you so sad
At least I can say for the time
I was satisfied
Answering machine
Hearing your name
Next to mine

So what do we do now?
Everything we built, we broke it
It's all shattered and broken
I can't get you outta my head
Its all fallin' down
Time that we get goin'
Things you never told me
I thought you were the one

So what do we do now?
Everything we built, we broke it
It's all shattered and broken
I can't get you outta my head
Its all fallin' down
Time that we get goin'




Things you never told me
I thought you were the one

@kaleyclark4026

I absolutely cannot believe this was 8yrs ago. I remember them being in MAGCON and listening to these old songs and saying how good they where and how I hoped they made more music. I cant believe how much time has passed. I wish I was that young and happy again.

@laurenlang1847
