## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Takin' it back to when we were gone

I was so young and dumb

We were living so loud yeah

Breathin' it in, the smoke from the gun

I was so young and dumb

Can't stop thinking about how

[Pre-Chorus]

We were such a pretty little picture 'til it went wrong

It went wrong

Old photographs are burning but the memories will live on

Will live on

We'll never be the same

[Chorus]

I stopped counting at a thousand times

All the lies to my face

All of the summer nights

You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I hate you, I hate you, ah yeah (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Goodbye, a thousand times

I stopped counting at a thousand times

All the lies to my face

All of the summer nights

You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I hate you, I hate you, ah yeah (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Goodbye, a thousand times

[Post-Chorus]

Times, times, times

Times, times, times

[Verse 2]

Sat on the bridge, getting so drunk

Mixin' that coke and rum

Fingertips on the edge, yeah

We never knew who we would become

Feeling so low and numb

Still, I'll never regret how

[Pre-Chorus]

We were such a pretty little picture 'til it went wrong

It went wrong

Old photographs are burning but the memories will live on

Will live on

We'll never be the same

[Chorus]

I stopped counting at a thousand times

All the lies to my face

All of the summer nights

You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I hate you, I hate you, ah yeah (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Goodbye, a thousand times

I stopped counting at a thousand times

All the lies to my face

All of the summer nights

You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I hate you, I hate you, ah yeah (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Goodbye, a thousand times

[Post-Chorus]

Times, times, times

Times, times, times

[Bridge]

Yeah

We on some high school shit

It's cocaine when we kiss

Caught feelings way too quick

Our love went black like licorice

I wanna drift, Pacific Highway

4 AM, fucked up like a Friday

In my head, pop pills like a migraine

Stopped fucking you, but I kinda like it, yeah

[Chorus]

I stopped counting at a thousand times

All the lies to my face

All of the summer nights

You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I hate you, I hate you, ah yeah (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Goodbye, a thousand times

I stopped counting at a thousand times

All the lies to my face

All of the summer nights

You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I hate you, I hate you, ah yeah (Uh-huh)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Goodbye, a thousand times
