emails i can’t send fwd: Album Lyrics by Sabrina Carpenter

emails i can't send

It's times like these wish I had a time machine
So I could see what you did October thirteenth
At 10:15, were you really asleep?
Were you lying to me and the family?

There's no us in us when I'm lacking trust
You wanna discuss, ugh
You disgust me
Don't make me cuss you out
Why'd you let me down?
Don't say sorry now

And thanks to you I, I can't love right
I get nice guys and villainize them
Read their texts like they're having sex right now
Scared I'll find out that it's true
And if I do, then I blame you for
Every worst that I assume
When I'm forty-five, someone calls me their wife
And he f*cks our lives in one selfish night
Don't think I'll find forgiveness as fast as mom did
And, God, I love you, but you're such a dipshit
Please f*cking fix this

'Cause you were all I looked up to
Now I can't even look at you

(You do)
I mean, as they say in Chicago
"He had it coming"

Vicious

One year, ten thousand bad moments
But it was dressed up in heated emotion
And I tried to look for the best in the worst
But like, f*ck me, that caused a commotion
You're lucky I'm a private person
I've quietly carried your burden
And everyone thinks you're an angel
But shit, I would probably use different wording

Oh, you're so vicious
Love me, then pretend you didn't
Crush my heart and wreck my image
Why you gotta be so vicious?

You like a certain type of woman
Who's smart but neglects intuition
When you're insecure, could be me, could be her
You just run to whoever is winning

Said that it was me and you for life
Now you're kinda actin' like I died

Oh, you're so vicious
Love me, then pretend you didn't
Crush my heart and wreck my image
Why you gotta be so, so, so
Oh, you're so vicious
Love me, then pretend you didn't
Half of me just can't resist it
Why you gotta be so vicious?

Oh, no
Why you gotta be so
Oh, oh
Why you gotta be so vicious?

You don't feel remorse, you don't feel the effects
'Cause you don't think you hurt me if you wish me the best
I shoulda known all along, I was only the next one
To take your love songs as a promise

Oh, you're so vicious
I loved you but I wish I didn't
If you're out there somewhere listenin'
Why you gotta be so vicious?

Read your Mind

Ahh

Made it clear when you told me (ahh)
Don't why but you gotta be lonely (ahh-ah)
Say it's hard but you make it look easy (ahh)
So I'm trying to live a reality (ahh-ahh)

Decompressin', tryna ease the tension
But you got me stressin'
Feelin' like I need to go and
You sneak up on me
Tell me that you miss me in your life

I can't read your mind
You say that you need to be alone
But night and day
Want me at your beck and call
You say you know that you might be crossin' the line
Wastin' all our time
To think that we could be casual
You're not my friend
And, baby, you never were
Why the fuss? If you say you just wanna be mine
I can't read your mind

Tell me what's gonna happen
When it's you and me in a room
But you know you can't have it?
Oh, I'll be laughing
When you say that you really have changed
Finally found your way
'Cause I'm close to your face, ahh-ah

Double checkin'
Did I get the message
In the way you intended?
Got me second guessing when you
Sneak up on me
Tell me that you need me in your life

I can't read your mind
You say that you need to be alone
But night and day
Want me at your beck and call
You say you know that you might be crossin' the line (uh, yeah)
Wastin' all our time
To think that we could be casual
You're not my friend
And, baby, you never were
Why the fuss? If you say you just wanna be mine
I can't read your mind

You say that you need to be alone
But night and day
Want me at your beck and call
You say you know that you might be crossin' the line

I can't read your mind
You say that you need to be alone
But night and day
Want me at your beck and call (want me at your beck and call)
You say you know that you might be crossin' the line
Wastin' all our time (time)
To think (think) that we could be casual
You're not (you're not) my friend (my friend)
And, baby, you never were
Why (why) The fuss? (The fuss?)
If you say you just wanna be mine
I can't read your mind

Ha, oh, oh, ohh-la, mh-mh

Tornado Warnings

We were never in the park
Talking on a seesaw, teetering with our feelings in the dark
Ignoring tornado warnings
He didn't hold me in his arms
We didn't stumble over the pages of our relationship arc
Ignoring tornado warnings

Don't understand how quickly we get
Right back in our rhythm without missing a step
And logically, the last thing I should have on my mind
But I want you there sometimes

I guess maybe that's why
I'm lying to my therapist
I keep saying things like
"I never saw him and we never kissed"
Now I think, somehow, in my mind
If I could convince him if he doesn't see it
Then maybe it doesn't exist
I think he's onto me every time I say
"I'm over that son of a bitch"
I'm lying to my therapist

I deserve an hour in a week
To focus on my thoughts
Not so obsessed with yours, I can't hear myself speak
I deserve my own consideration
Sometimes I wish I kept
Some of my feelings in the basement
So I'd still have some left

Don't understand how quickly we get
Right back in our rhythm without missing a step
And logically, the last thing I should have on my mind
But I want you there sometimes

I guess maybe that's why
I'm lying to my therapist
I keep saying things like
"I never saw him and we never kissed"
Now I think, somehow, in my mind
If I could convince him if he doesn't see it
Then maybe it doesn't exist
I think he's onto me every time I say
"I'm over that son of a bitch"
I'm lying to my therapist

I'll drive you home
You drive me crazy
But that's not gonna stop me
I'll call you out
You call me "baby"
But that's not gonna stop me

If I'm lying to my therapist
I keep saying things like
"I never saw him and we never kissed"
Now I think, somehow, in my mind
If I could convince him if he doesn't see it
Then maybe it doesn't exist
I think he's onto me every time I say
"I'm over that son of a bitch"
I'm lying to my therapist

Already Over

We been talkin' for hours
'Bout how we shouldn't talk for hours on end
Kissing after a conversation
'Bout how we'd probably be better off as friends

Same time here next weekend
Say we won't do this again
Make me fall where I stand
Only like you can

Yeah, I say I'm done, but I'm still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it's still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

Selfishly don't wanna give you
Time to be on someone else's lips
But I'll take three short hours
Over three long weeks pretending like we don't exist, mmh

Same time here next weekend
Say we won't do this again
Make me fall where I stand
Only like you can

Yeah, I say I'm done, but I'm still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it's still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

After the aftermath
I know you'll be coming back to the bed-bedroom
And it won't be the last of the aftermath
I know you'll be coming back to the bed-bedroom
And it won't be the last time

I say I'm done, but I'm still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure? (Ohh)
And I change my mind, but it's still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
Yeah, I like my bed, but it likes you too
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

bet u wanna

Told me, told me I'm your only
It's all unfoldin', babe
Slowly, slowly, lies you sold me
All saw the light of day

You been wastin' time on the other side
If you're satisfied, touché
Now you say you hate all the empty space
And if you could go back, you'd stay


Didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurts to see me outta your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
(Let me know what you found)
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now

Chase me, chase me, that's right, baby
Yeah, feel the way it feels
When you don't havе control of who I'm holdin'
Is it feedin' all your fears?
See Sabrina Carpenter Live
Get tickets as low as $25

You been wastin' time on the othеr side
If you're satisfied, touché
But the lights are off, your so-called friends are gone
Oh, I know what you're 'bout to say

Didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurts to see me outta your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
(Let me know what you found)
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now
Didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurts to see me outta your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
(Let me know what you found)
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now

I bet you wanna
I bet you wanna (Ah)

Bet you miss me, bet you're reminiscin'
I bet you hate the way that you said goodbye
And you still can't even tell me why
I hate the way that you left me dry
But I'll keep that between you and I

I bet you didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurts to see me outta your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now (Oh, touch me now)
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
Bet you wanna love me now (Uh-huh)
Bet you wanna love me now

Nonsense

No
(Oh, la-la) da-ah-ah, ah (ah-ah)
(Uh, uh, uh, yeah)

Think I only want one number in my phone
I might change your contact to "don't leave me alone"
You said you like my eyes and you like to make 'em roll
Treat me like a queen, now you got me feelin' thrown, oh

But I can't help myself
When you get close to me
Baby, my tongue goes numb
Sounds like bleh, blah, blee
I don't want no one else (don't want)
Baby, I'm in too deep
Here's a lil' song I wrote (a song I wrote)
It's about you and me (me)

I'll be honest
Lookin' at you got me thinkin' nonsense
Cartwheels in my stomach when you walk in
When you got your arms around me
Oh, it feels so good I had to jump the octave
I think I got an ex but I forgot him
And I can't find my chill, I must have lost it
I don't even know I'm talkin' nonsense
I'm talkin', I'm talkin' (ah)

I'm talkin' all around clock
I'm talkin' hope nobody knocks
I'm talkin' opposite of soft
I'm talkin' wild, wild thoughts
You gotta keep up with me
I got some young energy
I caught the L-O-V-E
How do you do this to me?

But I can't help myself
When you get close to me
Baby, my tongue goes numb
Sounds like blah, blah, bleh, blee
I don't want no one else (don't want)
Baby, I'm in too deep (too deep)
Here's a lil' song I wrote (a song I wrote)
It's about you and me

I'll be honest (honest)
Lookin' at you got me thinkin' nonsense
Cartwheels in my stomach when you walk in (when you walk in)
When you got your arms around me
Oh, it feels so good I had to hit the octave
I think I got an ex but I forgot him
And I can't find my chill, I must have lost it
I don't even know I'm talkin' nonsense (oh)
I'm talkin', I'm talkin', I'm talkin'

(I'm talkin', I'm talkin' na-na-na) I'm talkin', I'm talkin'
Blah, blah, blah, blah, uh-uh-uh-uh
Ah
I don't even know anymore
(Oh)

This song catchier than chickenpox is
I bet your house is where my other sock is
Woke up this morning, thought I'd write a pop hit
How quickly can you take your clothes off pop quiz?

That one's not gonna make it
Most of these aren't gonna make

Fast Times

Sun's up too soon like daylight savings
Mixed emotions are congregatin'
Picturin' us in all these places
Ahead of myself's an understatement
Sky looks so purple, I can taste it
Couple days in, I call you, "Baby"
Three stories up here contemplatin'
But what the f*ck is patience?

These are fast times and fast nights, yeah
No time for rewrites, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
Fast times and fast nights, yeah
Closed eyes and closed blinds, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it

My feelings used to be serrated
But you speak in such a perfect cadence
Tiptoein' past so many stages
But what the f*ck is patience?

These are fast times and fast nights, yeah
No time for rewrites, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
Fast times and fast nights, yeah
Closed eyes and closed blinds, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it

These, these are
These are the fast times
These, these are
These are the

Fast times and fast nights, yeah
No time for rewrites, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
Fast times and fast nights, yeah
Closed eyes and closed blinds, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it

Bad for Business

He's good for my heart but he's bad for business
Tears me apart when he grants my wishes
All of my friends think I've gone crazy
But they don't know me like my baby

We look good in photographs
I like the way you like to laugh at dirty jokes
I know they'll always land
Used to get work on time
But now you're taking up my nights
Never been so glad to be so tired

Ooh, I'm mad for you
It's sad but true and I know it
Ahh, you're on my mind
You stole my life and it's showin'

He's good for my heart but he's bad for business
Tears me apart when he grants my wishes
All of my friends think I've gone crazy
But they don't know me like my baby

If I'm just writing happy songs
Will anybody sing along?
You had to go and break into my head
And I would try to fight these feelings
I can't find a single reason
I'd make all the same mistakes again, ohh

Ooh, I'm mad for you
It's sad but true and I know it
Ahh, you're on my mind
You stole my life and it's showin'

He's good for my heart but he's bad for business
Tears me apart when he grants my wishes
All of my friends think I've gone crazy
But they don't know me like my baby

He's good (good), it's bad (bad)
The best I've ever had (best I've ever had)
And he's so nice, it's sad (it's sad)
He ruined all my plans
And he just makes me so crazy
I know everyone sees
That he'll be the death of me

He's good for my heart but he's bad for business (he's very bad for business)
Tears me apart when he grants my wishes
All of my friends think I've gone crazy
But they don't know me like my baby

He's good for my heart but he's bad for business (so bad)
Tears me apart when he grants my wishes
All of my friends think I've gone crazy
But they don't know me like my baby

opposite

Oh, so you do have a type?
And it's not me
Oh, so you can reply?
Just to not me
If you wanted brown eyes
I could have got contacts

So y'all are in Paris now?
Guess it's public
Face like that other girl
You're in love with
You knew I would see that
You knew I would notice

She looks nothing like me
Can't really tell, should I be
Tryna take it as a compliment?
It's kinda feeling like the opposite
She looks nothing like me
So why do you look so happy?
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holding out to find the opposite

And I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Oh, I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway

Does she say nothing so you feel good?
Does she step out of the spotlight so you bathe in it?
Does she get up on top of you more than I would?
Does she just love the picture 'cause you're painting it?

I care but I don't
Just wondering when you
Said I'm beautiful
Was I being lied to?

She looks nothing like me
Can't really tell, should I be
Tryna take it as a compliment?
It's kinda feeling like the opposite
She looks nothing like me
So why do you look so happy?
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holding out to find the opposite

And I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Oh, I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway (end up with her anyway)
End up with her anyway

Feather

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
(Oh, not another take)

Oh, it's like that, I'm your dream come true
When it's on a platter for you
Then you pulled back when I try to make plans
More than two hours in advance, mm

I slam the door, I hit ignore
I'm saying, "No, no, no, no more"
I got you blocked, after this, an afterthought
I finally cut you off

I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind (ah)
Floating through the memories like whatever, you're a waste of time (ah)
Your signals are mixed, you act like a bitch
You fit every stereotype, "Send a pic"
I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life
With you out my life

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather, yeah

It feels so good
Not caring where you are tonight
And it feels so good
Not pretending to like the wine you like

I slam the door (slam the door), I hit ignore (hit ignore)
I'm saying, "No, no, no, no more"
I got you blocked, excited to never talk
I, I'm so sorry for your loss

I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind (ah)
Floating through the memories like, whatever, you're a waste of time (ah)
Your signals are mixed, you act like a bitch (a bitch)
You fit every stereotype, "Send a pic"
I feel so much lighter like a feather, with you out my life
With you out my life

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do) ah, mm
Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather

You want me? I'm done
You miss me? No duh
Where I'm at, I'm up where I'm at
You want me? I'm done (I'm done)
You miss me? No duh
Where I'm at, I'm up (I'm up) where I'm at

You want me? I'm done (I feel so much lighter)
You miss me? No duh (like a feather)
Where I'm at, I'm up where I'm at (with you off my mind)
You want me? I'm done (I feel so much lighter)
You miss me? No duh (like a feather with you off my mind)
Where I'm at, I'm up where I'm at (like a feather, like a feather)
(Like a feather, yeah)

Lonesome

If I fall in love with all my problems, will they leave me too?
Well, maybe I believed in all your lies, 'cause I believed in you

Why were you somewhere else when you were next to me?
I know, you know, it keeps me up
Did you think about her face with your hands around my waist?
Did you even give a f*ck?

You can't spell lonesome without me, mmm, mmm, mmm
And there's no hope in misery, mmm, mmm, mmm
I can't escape your history, oh
You can't spell lonesome without me, you just can't

Tell me I was more than just a decent opportunity
Or will you tell me anything I wanna hear to control how you're perceived?

Oh, why were you somewhere else when you were next to me?
I know, you know, it keeps me up
Isn't it kind of strange how it all changed when
I wasn't the one they wanted you to love

You can't spell lonesome without me, mmm, mmm, mmm
And there's no hope in misery, mmm, mmm, mmm
I can't escape your history, oh
You can't spell lonesome without me, you just can't

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

things i wish you said

Baby, sorry I left you in the dark
I always reach for your leg over there on your side of the car
Baby, everything reminds me of you
Nobody gets my jokes, everyone here thinks I'm f*ckin' rude

When I saw you cry, I didn't handle it well
Without you here I don't know what to do with myself
I think about these things at night
Before I fall asleep
Things I wish you said to me

Things like, "Darling, I hope you know it scared me to death
The night that your sister said that you got in an accident
And, "God I, I'm watching everything that you do
I can't get your songs out of my head, or your hair out of my room"

I saw you met somebody and I'm jealous as hell
That I can't even stomach loving somebody else
I think about these things at night
Before I fall asleep
Things I wish you said to me

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ah

I'm sorry that I pulled the "It's not you, it's me"
One day I'll make sure you get a real apology
I'll waste my time, I'll waste my life on idiotic things
Like things you never said, things you'll never say to me
