lyrics

Ooh
Checked to see if you liked it again
Was the angle good
Was I funny in the caption
Obsessive-compulsive when it comes to my socials
Guess that's just life
A constant state of emotional strife
Talking when I shouldn't be
I talk too much
Quiet when I shouldn't be
I don't say enough
Can't somebody tell me who to be?

I can't help it
I see myself through your eyes
And I hate it
That you're just one of the guys
That I've dated
Who didn't wanna try

Not sure what game you're playin'
No one's that antiquated
Is there something you're not sayin'
Hidden messages in your vagueness
'Cause you said you can't explain it
And you don't wanna make me jaded
Like Avril stated
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
Talking when I shouldn't be
I talk too much
Quiet when I shouldn't be
I don't say enough
Can't somebody tell me who to be?

I can't help it
I see myself through your eyes
And I hate it
That you're just one of the guys
That I've dated
Who didn't wanna try
'Cause I felt it
Felt it in your goodbye
And you melted
When I started to cry
I can't help it
You didn't wanna try

Don't leave me hanging on the small screen
Give some kind of sign you miss me
I'll keep sharing everything for you
I know it might seem frenetic
Trying out every aesthetic
I'd change if you ever asked me to

Ooh
(Yeah)

I can't help it
I see myself through your eyes
And I hate it
That you're just one of the guys
That I've dated
Who didn't wanna try
(Oh why didn't you wanna try)
'Cause I felt it
Felt it in your goodbye
And you melted
When I started to cry
I can't help it
You didn't wanna try
(Why didn't you wanna try)
