Guess you're not picking up your phone
Hung out to dry
Ring three, ring four
Arguin' with your dial tone
Call back once more, yeah
We went from everything to nothing (in a night)
And I never saw it coming (tell me why)
Why you couldn't leave me something
To hold at night
Yeah, you messed me up when you cut me loose
Lost my mind with you
I'ma need some therapy
How did we go from being the perfect two
To strangers in a room?
I'ma need, I'ma need some therapy
Some therapy
Pictures got me
Scrolling through all the memories
It's too heavy
I never got closure
So I keep playing it over and over
I'm always stuck in a mood, oh, I hate that
We went from everything to nothing (in a night)
And I never saw it coming (tell me why)
Why you couldn't leave me something
To hold at night
Yeah, you messed me up when you cut me loose
Lost my mind with you
I'ma need some therapy
How did we go from being the perfect two
To strangers in a room?
I'ma need, I'ma need some therapy
Some therapy
Ring once, ring twice
Guess you're not picking up your phone
Yeah, you messed me up when you cut me loose
Lost my mind with you
I'ma need some therapy
How did we go from being the perfect two
To strangers in a room?
I'ma need, I'ma need some therapy
Some therapy
Some therapy
Ring once, ring twice
Guess you're not picking up your phone
