Verse 1 Stressed out for finals, staring at a blank screen Sorry I didn't text back, you know what I mean? I was getting on the bus, head against the glass Thinking about Vincent, wondering why time won't pass I panicked and I called him, texted till my fingers hurt He said he left his phone at home, treated me like dirt Like he doesn't even care, while my girlfriend acts so strange I don't know what to do, everything is starting to change Chorus Then you flipped through your yearbook with your mom on the couch Saw my picture in there, tried to fix my heavy slouch You said I look good, told me to stop dropping my head But then you dropped a bomb in gray text that read: "Nobody likes you, my girlfriend hates your guts" Vincent hates you too, and it’s driving me nuts How can people hate me when they don’t even know my name? I'm just trying to be your friend, but you're playing a game Verse 2 My mom saw me crying, asked to see the screen Wanted to know who these people were, being so mean Now she's texting your mom, asking about Vincent’s life Adults getting involved, adding to the high school strife Our brains are developing, that's what my mom said Too many emotions spinning around inside my head You say you love me so much, that I’m your best friend But your words cut deep, leaving scars that will not mend Bridge You say Vincent hates everyone, it shouldn't be a surprise He thinks my friends will hurt me, telling all these protective lies Because we’ve both lost people, lost four friends this year Getting scared in the cafeteria, drowning in the social fear You say you don't get why this is such a big deal to me But words carry weight, why can't you just see? Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break Chorus Then you flipped through your yearbook with your mom on the couch Saw my picture in there, tried to fix my heavy slouch You said I look good, told me to stop dropping my head But then you dropped a bomb in gray text that read: "Nobody likes you, my girlfriend hates your guts" Vincent hates you too, and it’s driving me nuts How can people hate me when they don’t even know my name? I'm just trying to be your friend, but you're playing a game Outro I don't want the drama, I don't want the lunch group crowd The cafeteria noise is getting way too loud Let’s just hide away from the people and the noise they make I’d rather eat in the classroom, for my own sanity's sake Just me, you, and Addy, where the hallway rumors fade Safe behind the desks, in the quiet shade Just got off the bus. I'm home now.
