It doesn't matter if you miss him.


He doesn't miss you.


So toughen up and turn your heart off.


Convince yourself you don't want him anymore.


Convince yourself that you're okay.


It doesn't matter if you don't feel your heart beating


It doesn't matter if you go home tonight


And for some reason, you feel just as empty as you did


before


Because he taught you nothing is long term, remember?


That the longer you pine after him, the crazier you are.


So stop thinking about how he held your hand,


Or how he whispered "I love you" in your ear


Because, don't you see it, he never really loved you


He just wanted to waste a little time


You're no fool, so don't let them fool you


Don't be stupid like that ever again.


Promise me, promise me, promise me,
That you'll never fall for anyone ever again


Because this hurt isn't worth it


No matter how beautiful you make it sound


No matter how much you write about it


Don't fall for the next boy that calls you babygirl


He's not looking for the same things you are


Do me a favor, protect yourself


Babygirl, just stay away next time.


Trust me on that.
