[Verse 1]

It's four p.m. and I haven't heard

From you all day, by now I've learned

Play it cool, that you'll text me first

Headlights spill through the closed shades

I won't remember what you say

But I'll never forget your face through the window

I should have seen

The way you never looked at me


[Chorus]

Was all this for nothing?

Did you ever really love me?

Or were you always missing something?

I don't want your pity

So if you're gonna leave me

At least don't make it easy

Don't make it easy


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 2]

I told myself it was okay

Your doubts would clear up one day

You'd fall in love at your own pace, it was okay

Now I just really wanna know why

You finally said goodbye

I just wasted so much time when

I should have seen

All the signs you left for me


[Chorus]

Was all this for nothing?

Did you ever really love me?

Or were you always missing something?

I don't want your pity

So if you're gonna leave me

At least don't make it easy

Don't make it easy


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, don't make it easy

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-oh


[Bridge]

The hardest part of this

Is I could not admit

I always wanted more

But you were never sure

I hate it, but it's true

And if I got a call from you

I'd still pick up the phone

I'm still holding on to hope


[Chorus]

Was all this for nothing?

Did you ever really love me?

Or were you always missing something, something?

'Cause I don't want your pity

So if you're gonna leave me

At least don't make it easy

Don't make it easy


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
