**(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?
