"She was lying." I say.

It's not true

"No, she fucking wasn't!" Jacob says.

"She wasn't?" I ask.

Tell me I've been lied to

"No!" Jacob says.

"You sound a lot like Nate right now." I say changing the subject.

"Yeah, because you just broke my sister's heart!" Jacob says.

Crying isn't like you, ooh

"Fuck." I mumble.

What the hell did I do?

"You know Y/n's afraid of sharing her feelings, and you just made her more afraid." Jacob says.

Never been the type to

Let someone see right through, ooh

"I'm gonna go talk to her." I say.

"You're gonna make things worse." Jacob says.

"Jacob, I get she's your sister, I get that. In the most polite way possible, stay out of this. I can become Maddy real quick." I say.

I grab my keys and walk past him.

20 minutes later...

Y/n opens the door and stares at me.

"Can we talk?" I ask.

Y/n nods and lets me in.

"I take it back." Y/n says.

Maybe won't you take it back?

"Was just trying to make you laugh. Haha. Just forget everything I said." Y/n says.

Say you were tryna make me laugh

And nothing has to change today

"Should've added emojis or something so you knew I was joking." Y/n says.

You didn't mean to say "I love you"

"Y/n." I say.

"Okay! I fucking love you. I love you so much that it hurts to think about you being with some else. We weren't supposed to catch feelings and I did. I wish I never did." She says.

I love you and I don't want to, ooh

"I don't want to just fuck from 9 at night to 2 in the morning then go home. You think my eyes are red because I'm tired but I've just been crying." She says.

Up all night on another red-eye

"I just wish we never started sleeping together." She says.

I wish we never learned to fly

"We can just lie to ourselves and ignore what I said." She says.

Maybe we should just try

To tell ourselves a good lie

"I didn't mean to make you cry." I say.

Didn't mean to make you cry

"Doesn't matter because I take it back — I was joking." Y/n says.

Maybe won't you take it back?

Say you were tryna make me laugh

"Nothing is gonna change because I didn't mean to say it." Y/n says.

And nothing has to change today

You didn't mean to say "I love you"

"You just said that you loved me 8 seconds ago." I say.

"I lied." Y/n says.

I love you and I don't want to, ooh

"I never said I didn't love you. I asked you if you were joking because you tell everyone you love them as a joke. You literally got on one knee yesterday and told Hunter you wanted to marry her." I say

"I love you. I knew you loved me but I kept denying it because we're friends with benefits." I say.

"When you were in ICU from that car accident, you were in so much pain but started smiling when you saw me." I say.

The smile that you gave me

Even when you felt like dying

"I knew I would fall in love with you when I first met you. It was just the constant thought that we would never be more than friends with benefits." I say.

We fall apart as it gets dark

I'm in your arms in Central Park

"That stopped me form saying it but I never stopped feeling that way." I say.

There's nothing you could do or say

I can't escape the way I love you

"I love you." I say.

I don't want to, but I love you, ooh

"I love you too." Y/n says smiling.

Ooh, ooh

I smile and Y/n kisses me.

Ooh, ooh
