[Verse 1]

I swear it wasn’t supposed to go down like this

Had the words in my head, yeah, the moment I’d confess

But somebody ran their mouth, now it’s all over school

Every kid in 5th grade staring at me like I’m a fool

She heard it second-hand, not from me like I planned

And now I can’t tell what she feels or where we stand

Someone said she called me chopped, and it cut real deep

Now I’m lying awake when I should be asleep

[Pre-Chorus]

And every time she walks by, she don’t look my way

Feels like the sunshine left and turned into gray

I don’t know what I did, but it’s hard to see—

Does she hate me… or just not know me?

[Chorus]

Does she hate me?

Is it all in my head?

Do the rumors mean something, or is it just what they said?

I didn’t get to tell her how I really feel

Now everything around me doesn’t even feel real

Yeah, I’m breaking slowly

Thinking she’s lonely…

Thinking she hates me

[Verse 2]

Nolan’s talking to her, and it twists my chest

Makes me think maybe giving up might be best

’Cause why would she want me with all of this noise?

Why would she pick me over all of those boys?

I replay every moment, every laugh, every glance

Trying to see if I ever even had a chance

And it’s scary thinking maybe she’s mad at me too—

For something I never meant to do

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I’m the villain in a story I made

Maybe all these fears are the ones I betrayed

I just want to know what she really sees—

Does she hate me… or is it just the breeze?

[Chorus]

Does she hate me?

Is it all in my head?

Do the rumors mean something, or is it just what they said?

I didn’t get to tell her how I really feel

Now everything around me doesn’t even feel real

Yeah, I’m breaking slowly

Thinking she’s lonely…

Thinking she hates me

[Bridge]

Maybe she’s shy, maybe she’s scared

Maybe she’s confused ’cause the whole school stared

Maybe it’s not hate, maybe it’s just shock—

People talk too much, they never stop

[Breakdown]

I wish I could rewind

Take back the day

Say the words myself

In my own kind of way

But now I’m just wondering if I ruined my shot—

If she thinks I’m nothing… or maybe I’m not

[Chorus]

Does she hate me?

Is it all in my head?

Do the rumors mean something, or is it just what they said?

I didn’t get to tell her how I really feel

Now everything around me doesn’t even feel real

Yeah, I’m breaking slowly

Thinking she’s lonely…

Thinking she hates me

[Outro]

Maybe one day we’ll talk and I’ll finally see

If it’s hate… or if she’s scared just like me

Till then, every heartbeat drives me crazy—

’Cause I don’t know…

Does she hate me?
