I couldn't catch a ride, I tried so I was walkin'

Started rainin’ when you called to tell me you were flakin’ out again

And I don't wanna be your dummy I cut the strings and I'm free, honey

So stuck on yourself it’s funny Hanging with you feels so crummy

Walkin’ through the mallwith all the carbon copies

Now that were apart I wonder if you miss a thing
