LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
By now I got your bad habits all memorized
Like, when I know you need me most
You go and shut me out, figures, you Gemini
And I'm not sayin' that I've got
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
All of the answers, but
Boy, I've been in love before
It's not always peachy, look, life ain't that easy
But one thing I know for sure is it
[CHORUS]
Shouldn't be this hard
You couldn't DTR
Oh, wouldn't it be nice if we could stay friends? But we
Shouldn't, you know what I
Couldn't, 'nough's enough
If I had your heart, it wouldn't be this hard
[VERSE 2]
You wonder why suddenly I'm comin' off indifferent
What you don't seem to understand is
It's not anything you said, it's everything you didn't, oh
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Yeah, you, you always answer with
More questions to questions that scare you
We're not always peachy, look, love ain't that easy
But one thing I know, I know it for sure, that it
[CHORUS]
Shouldn't be this hard
You couldn't DTR
Oh, wouldn't it be nice if we could stay friends? But we
Shouldn't, you know what I
Couldn't, 'nough's enough
If I had your heart, it wouldn't be this hard
Oh, hard, mm
[OUTRO]
It's not always peachy, look, love ain't that easy
But one thing I know for sure is we shouldn't.

wow i can totall relate to this song now uggh knowing what am i to you is like pulling teeth. but boy im still crazy for you

[@tona6242]

what’s DTR?

[@sincerelysof]

Tona determine the relationship. It basically means that two people are super close and one is ready to become exclusive while the other is vague about it. So they’re not officially a couple, but one wants to and the the other is hesitant.

[@catalainedonato4454]

my heart just melts... Her voice is so angelic😭

[@24peachy80]

This song hit different. Just got my heart broken by a Gemini, we've been talking for over a year, sometimes we're friends sometimes we're more than friends and I just found out today that he's talking to another person beside me. I've decided, I'm walking away from this. No one deserved to get played by a two timer like this.

[@aldrinmarquez7918]

The person I like said he doesn't want to be in a relationship because he's in the process of healing, and I respect that. Whenever I ask him a question he always answer with a question, like do you like me or not? and now he's courting someone. Guess I got my answer.
