[Verse 1] Backseat of a busted Ford, July heat melting soda cores You passed by with your laugh low, Spun your keys, but wouldn’t say hello Only smirked, like I wasn’t brave enough To call your bluff, or call it love [Pre-Chorus] I pulled petals in my bedroom mirror Soft white lies and teenage terror “He loves me, he loves me not” I mouthed it like a prayer you forgot [Chorus] Daisies in Nebraska, wilted on my desk You looked at me once like I was a mess But I swear I caught it—your eyes slipped Like maybe I was more than a dare on your lips He loves me, he loves me not But not enough to say it in the parking lot [Verse 2] You lit fires with your friends for fun Dared each other to outrun cops and sun But when it came to me, you played mute Cool boy blues in hand-me-down boots And I laughed too loud, made you look twice But silence was your sacrifice [Pre-Chorus] Still I spun that daisy crown tight Wore it like armor under moonlight “He loves me, he loves me not” Stung like the truth, sweeter than rot [Chorus] Daisies in Nebraska, pressed between a page Where I wrote your name, erased it with rage You flicked your gaze like a match unlit But baby I burned, even without it He loves me, he loves me not But not enough to say it in the parking lot [Bridge] There’s a girl I was, who still believes In boys with secrets in rolled-up sleeves And if I see you now, I’ll smile slow— You won’t remember, but I’ll still know [Final Chorus] Daisies in Nebraska, dry and done But I still hum our maybe song to no one You looked, then looked away, yeah I caught it He loves me, he loves me not... And never said shit.
