I wanna say all bad things end
But right now, I'm not convinced
Yeah, you're swinging right back like a pendulum, babe
Acting like you never left in the first place
Can you get it in your brain? I'm not playing your games this time
Don't tell me you need me now you got your feelings back
I've heard it before
I'm tired of waiting around, letting you let me down
I'm done being yours
I was secondary to everything, I've never been so insignificant
You shook the love and it's evident (you'll always be a setback)
Next to you, I was crumbling, the power balance stumbling
You wrecked it all and it's sinking in (you'll always be a setback)
♪
So you want my sympathy now? (Now)
Well, I got nothing left, I'm all out (all out)
Yeah, you're swinging right back like a pendulum, babe
Don't you think I recognize how you behave?
Those tears are so fake, I won't fall for that face this time
Don't tell me you need me now you got your feelings back
I've heard it before
I'm tired of waiting around, letting you let me down
I'm done being yours
You made heartbreak look elegant, abused me with intelligence
I could have sworn you were heaven sent (you'll always be a setback)
Next to you, I was crumbling, the power balance stumbling
You wrecked it all and it's sinking in (you'll always be a setback)
You know what would be really fucking cool on this? Sabrina
Like, if we could get Sabrina on this, oh my God
That-, that would-, like, seriously, oh my God, you're so right
I'm gonna sing now
I'll be somewhere by myself in Hawaii
Doin' all the things we always wanted, never did, why?
'Cause I waited for you, but your talk is cheap, all you do is leave
I see, I see
I'm sick of your schemes and you're such a disease
I know, I've heard it before
I'm never beggin' for love again, baby (for love, for love)
Not beggin' for yours, yours, yours
Don't tell me you need me now you got your feelings back (back)
I've heard it before, yeah, I've heard it before
(You) you let me down (me down)
(Yeah, I heard it before) oh-oh
I'm sick of your schemes and you're such a disease (disease)
I know, I've heard it before (before)
I'm never beggin' for love again, baby
Never beggin' for love, never beggin' for love
