[Intro:] Uh-uh-uh... Just read. Don't reply. Uh-uh-uh... Don't be the one to get hurt [Verse 1] Your texts are like a pop quiz, every one’s a question. "Hey, what are you doing?" My thumb's hovering, no direction. I want to tell you everything, all my weekend secrets, But my friends are all, "Girl, don't dive in, keep your heart a fortress." [Pre-chorus] This little game you're playing, it's not my thing, I'm way too cool for that, it's so exhausting. I'm over the slow replies, the chasing, the drama, So show me that you mean it, or I'll just keep scrolling. [Chorus] 'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (No, no) I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (No, no) Yeah, I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (Oh, oh, ooh) Not gonna be the one to get hurt (Oh, oh, ooh) (Read it and don't reply, read it and don't reply) [Verse 2] Got my headphones on, walking past your street, Pretending to stare at my iced coffee, playing it so cool. My phone buzzes in my pocket, and my heart does a flip, Is it a picture of your cat? Another funny little clip? Yeah, you got me thinking, it's a little bit of a headache. Are we for real, or just a new Spotify playlist for goodness sake? [Pre-chorus] This little game you're playing, it's not my thing, I'm way too cool for that, it's so exhausting. I'm over the slow replies, the chasing, the drama, So show me that you mean it, or I'll just keep scrolling. [Chorus] 'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (No, no) I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (No, no) Yeah, I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (Oh, oh, ooh) Not gonna be the one to get hurt (Oh, oh, ooh) (Read it and don't reply, read it and don't reply)
