get out of my city

We dated for like a month when I was sixteen

Most of our conversations took place on a screen

And I convinced myself I was living a dream


Felt the springtime air,

living without a care

In all black clothes and my bright blue hair


You came here on a Wednesday,

we went to a cafe.

I never let that coincidence go


Sat by a sign that said change alley

Later saw the trash,

re-named it death-valley


When I saw the song your wrote about me

I laughed about it with my friends

and i never felt any need

to try and make amends


Thought it was so cool you put it on streaming

so i made my way to dreaming


after another little mishap my thoughts went back to you

i got to writing, then i did it too

ink ran on paper, titled it "tear me apart"

about how one by one, it all broke my heart


one by one, went to beat your monthly listeners

thought "this should make it feel like a win for sure"

And then i hit my goal, i got 20

but now these days, you get plenty


Said you were disappointed I didn't like the same music as you

Said "I say I love you but I don't think I do"


I did what you asked when the nighttime came

When I thought you were different but you're just the same


Now you're finding yourself and sure that's great


But now it's kind of a pity,

to hear you're playing a show in my city.
