[Verse 1] February streets are dressed in red Storefront hearts, I shake my head Couples laughing, holding hands Guess I missed the memo, missed my chance Every arrow finds a home Every lock’s got its key But mine keeps rusting all alone Like love forgot about me [Pre-Chorus] I swear I’ve been doing everything right (Mm-hm) Saying prayers every lonely night But every time I look around I’m the only one not falling down [Chorus] Yeah, Cupid hates me, I can tell (can tell) He’s got everybody else under his spell (his spell) Shots flying past me, straight through my chest (right through) Guess my heart didn’t make the test (no, no) While they’re slow dancing, falling deep I’m just counting empty seats (empty seats) Must be true what it looks like to see Cupid hates me (hates me) [Verse 2] Best friends planning wedding dates (yeah) Baby names and first house gates I’m smiling wide, I play along (play along) But the drive home feels twice as long (so long) I scroll through love like it’s a crime (oh) Every post’s a perfect scene If love’s a lottery of time I’m losing in between (in between) [Pre-Chorus] I don’t blame the stars or fate (no) But it’s getting harder to stay patient (stay patient) Feels like I’m stuck outside the door While love keeps yelling “not yours” (not yours) [Chorus] Yeah, Cupid hates me, no debate (no debate) He skips my name, he’s always late (always late) Arrows raining, hearts collide I’m the punchline every time (every time) They’re making wishes, making plans I’m holding hope with shaking hands (shaking hands) Must be true if I still can’t see Cupid hates me (hates me) [Bridge] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Maybe love’s just taking the long way Maybe mine’s running late (running late) Or maybe I’m stronger alone Learning how to stand on my own (on my own) Still… it wouldn’t hurt to know What it’s like to not let go (yeah) [Final Chorus] If Cupid hates me, I’ll survive (survive) I’ve been doing that my whole life (whole life) But if he’s listening tonight I could use a little sign (little sign) ‘Cause I’m tired of being the only one Watching love like a setting sun (go down) I still believe, even if it seems Cupid hates me (hates me) [Outro] So here’s to hearts still waiting in line (waiting) Hope’s bruised but it’s still mine (still mine) One day love will finally see Cupid missed… but he didn’t beat me
