Tragic

> "*When I wrote this song a year and a half ago, a lot of people on Twitter were using "tragic" as a response to everything. So, I was like, "this word needs a theme song". And \*bam\* "Tragic" was born.*"

## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

Don't let the words that he says get trapped inside your head

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

He says that you are his next love

Soon you will be his ex love

Like me

**[Verse 1]**

Isn't it sad that I know his every move

Like what he'll say and what kind of girl he'll choose

He starts with "Do you want to come and chill tonight?"

Poor girl won't ever see that

He's all lies

**[Post-Chorus]**

Get used to the distance

To your calls going missing

No explanations

He'll play you

He'll play the victim

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Watch out

That's it

He's done

With this

You're out send the next in

You'll say why it's

**[Chorus]**

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

Don't let the words that he says get trapped inside your head

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

He says that you are his next love

Soon you will be his ex love

Like me

**[Verse 2]**

The first two months with him seem so innocent

But now you tell ya girls that he's acting different

You send a million texts but he hasn't answered none

I'm hoping that now she'll see that

She's not his only one

**[Post-Chorus]**

Get used to the distance

To your calls going missing

No explanations

He'll play you

He'll play the victim

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Watch out

That's it

I've had enough of this

He's mental you've witnessed

It's time to admit it

Commit him for illness

But he can't commit

This is

**[Chorus]**

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

Don't let the words that he says get trapped inside your head

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

He says that you are his next love

Soon you will be his ex love

Like me

**[Bridge]**

The target's locked on

He aims for the kill

Don't worry he doesn't run

Unless he's chasing a thrill

The target's locked on

He aims for the kill

He doesn't run

Unless he's chasing a thrill

Been through the fights

Lost sleep at night

Blindsides when I thought I was right

I see the sign

I see your end love line

Been through the fights

Lost sleep at night

I think it's time for you to say your goodbyes

I see the sign

I see your dead in love

Line

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

Don't let the words that he says get trapped inside your head

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

He says that you are his next love

Soon you will be

**[Chorus]**

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

Don't let the words that he says get trapped inside your head

Tragic

Ain't it tragic

He says that you are his next love

Soon you will be his ex love

Like me
