[Verse 1] to to many times, I been tricked (I been played) to to many times, I kept my grip but it slipped I sat and waited for days phone face down staring at names from back then in the same town we were still kids on the 'Vine' laughing raw now every little green dot feels like a claw and I hate how I still check like I need proof like your silence got a pulse in the living room [Pre-Chorus] I feel it moving in me like a storm in a jar I keep my hand on the latch but I don’t know where you are I still remember the start how it tasted sweet now I’m locked on repeat with the beat in my teeth [Chorus] to to many times I been tricked (I been played) to to many times I been tricked (I been played) I’m done with the wait done with the ache I still feel the sting but I’m out of the cage [Verse 2] I still remember how the start was blissful and sweet your name lit up the screen like a dare to repeat then the little cracks showed first in the corners of trust a laugh turned cold and the gold turned rust now I’m a button on mute playing repeat thumb on the glass heart under the seat and you know what hurts the most? not the lie, not the cut it’s the way I kept the door unlatched in my gut [Pre-Chorus] I feel it moving in me like a storm in a jar I keep my hand on the latch but I don’t know where you are I still remember the start how it tasted sweet now I’m locked on repeat with the beat in my teeth [Chorus] to to many times I been tricked (I been played) to to many times I been tricked (I been played) I’m done with the wait done with the ache I still feel the sting but I’m out of the cage [Bridge] Maybe I was loyal maybe I was young maybe I mistook the fall for a song unsung now the room goes quiet and the truth walks in I don’t need your sorry I don’t need to win [Chorus] to to many times I been tricked (I been played) to to many times I been tricked (I been played) I’m done with the wait done with the ache I still feel the sting but I’m out of the cage
