(Verse 1)
It all started when somebody talked too loud
Now my name’s spinning ’round the whole fifth-grade crowd
I wanted to tell her myself, keep it low-key
But they told her my crush before she heard it from me
Now she won’t even look when I walk her way
Feels like she’s dodging me every single day
They said she called me chopped, and yeah, that stings—
Now my chest feels heavy over little kid things
(Chorus)
’Cause I think she hates me…
Yeah, that’s what it feels like lately
Every time she turns her head
It’s like my fears get fed
And I’m drowning in the maybe
Yeah, I think she hates me…
Even if she never said it plainly
(Verse 2)
She’s talking to Nolan, laughing at his jokes
And I’m standing in the corner like the punchline they wrote
I don’t know if they’re dating, but it sure looks real—
And it’s messing with my head, how I think and feel
I replay every time that I tried to say “hi,”
But she kept on walking, didn’t even reply
Maybe she’s shy, maybe she’s nervous too—
But my brain keeps screaming she wants nothing to do with you
(Chorus)
’Cause I think she hates me…
Yeah, that’s what it feels like lately
Every time she turns her head
It’s like my fears get fed
And I’m drowning in the maybe
Yeah, I think she hates me…
Even if she never said it plainly
(Bridge)
Maybe it’s my mind just running too fast
Taking small moments and making ’em last
Maybe she’s confused ’cause the rumors spread quick
Maybe she’s hurt that it wasn’t from me first
But still—
I can’t shake the thought when she walks away
Like I messed up everything in just one day
(Breakdown)
I just wish I knew what she really feels
If it’s all in my head or if the hurt is real
’Cause I’m stuck in the dark, and it’s hard to see—
Does she hate me… or hate the story?
(Chorus)
I think she hates me…
Yeah, that’s what it feels like lately
Every time she turns her head
It’s like my fears get fed
And I’m drowning in the maybe
Yeah, I think she hates me…
Even if she never said it plainly
(Outro)
Maybe one day I’ll get the truth face-to-face
But for now I’m lost in this confusing place
And until she tells me differently
I’ll keep thinking…
She hates me
