lyrics

Kai
[that's like the only stereotype for cancers, is that they cry]
You called me up
To say you missed me
I hate it when you get like this
Always makes me cry

I changed your name in my phone
And I thought that'd be the last time
That I cried over something
That wasn't for me
Lets not lie
You were never really good for me

[i just- I don't think I miss her anymore]

I'm done making excuses for you
Next time you call I won't try and see it through
No, I didn't trust you
I lied to love you

Christian:
You called my bluff
You're right, I lied right straight through my teeth
guess I'm stuck
Without you next to me
I know I showed you something
That wasn't real
I thought that I wasn't cool enough
Wasn't good enough for you

I tried to fix me
I tried and tried
But you I ended up hurting

Kai and Christian:
I'm done making excuses for you
Next time you call I won't try and see it through, no
I didn't trust you
I lied to love you

Kai:
Now I'll be honest
To move on
It’s honestly overdue, love
You'll never choose me
Isn't that right?
No, there's no promise
To come through on
Just promise me you'll stay in touch when we move on
I lied to love you and I love to be right
I never needed you
Did I?
