Like You Care (What Ella Said) Lyrics

You had me in a chokehold

Guilt on my face like I am just a kid

Got caught with my hand in the cookie jar

You were a prophet, darling

Said all your relationships would expire

Like bad milk sitting in the back of the fridge

You said she said "let sleeping dogs lie"

You said she said "don't drag it around your whole life"

Forget what Ella said

The dog's already dead

Don't you lie, you and I, we were tied in a good way

You're a coward, dear

Just come over here

We can fight, make it right, make it wrong in a good way

Don't you think we deserve it

Won't you hurt me like you care

I know why you don't call me

I know you're hiding in the dark

Like a child scared of what's underneath the bed

And I am doing better

Got new friends, a city to call home

But I still wonder what goes on in your head

You said she said "let sleeping dogs lie"

You said she said "don't drag it around your whole life"

Forget what Ella said

The dog's already dead

Don't you lie, you and I, we were tied in a good way

You're a coward, dear

Just come over here

We can fight, make it right, make it wrong in a good way

Don't you think we deserve it

Won't you hurt me like you care

I know someone new is in your bed

But you still live on in my head

Darling, I hate you

Darling, I'll break you down

I wish I didn't want you

But darling, it's too late now

Forget what Ella said

The dog's already dead

Don't you lie, you let it die, you and I became strangers

You're a coward, dear

Just come over here

We can fight, make it right, we look good, just on paper

Don't you think you deserve this

Won't you hurt me like you care
