Chorus:
         A#
Ayy, we lost our love back in December
                                  F
Six months went on of us still together (Because)
I thought that I needed you
I thought that I needed—
A#
You're not the one I thought you was
                                         F
And it took so long to realize because (Because)
I thought that I needed you
                         Gm
I thought that I needed you

                                A#
So fuck love again, girl, I'm through
                                F
You broke trust and I'm feelin' used
You promised I wouldn't feel this way again
Now I'm over here, I'm over here and all
I feel is hate
         Gm
I got a couple more things I wanna say,
but I can't heal and
A#
I tried everything that you could think
                  F
to keep you here, I
Ran over everything that you had said
But I don't care what you say 'cause
                                 A#
I'm over all that shit a while (Woah)
And don't say sorry, it's too late to apologize
                                            F
But you're not sorry, no, your face says it all
And I was there oh, I would lay at your
lowest times
We acted like it was great, but

Chorus:
Gm
We lost our love back in December
A#                                        F
Six months went on of us still together (Because)
I thought that I needed you
I thought that I needed—
A#
You're not the one I thought you was
                                         F
And it took so long to realize because (Because)
I thought that I needed you
I— (How did you forget me?)

And I sat here for days like how did you forget me?
Oh, after everything, oh, how could you regret it?
(Oh, why?)
I regret I ever thought you were the best thing
To happen in my life, guess in a way,
this shit's a blessing
'Cause you thought that I needed you, and
I thought I would need to
Despite what they had told me,
 I saw other things in you
The way we left it off was
just not what we had agreed to
Thinkin' back on everything,
I'm tryna figure out just how

Chorus:
We lost our love back in December
Six months went on of us still together (Because)
I thought that I needed you
I thought that I needed—
You're not the one I thought you was
And it took so long to realize because (Because)
I thought that I needed you
I thought that I needed you

Sit back, watch you leave, girl
We no longer speak, yeah
With him and not me, yeah
(Oh, how did you forget me?)
Feel lost and betrayed now
As you made your way out
Don't know what to say, but
(Oh, how did you forget me?)
