PAST ME [Verse 1] You liked me better when I played nice When I stayed quiet and took your advice Now I got a little too good at goodbye Funny how you hate me when I stop asking why You had your chance, you let it slip Now you’re watching everything you missed I changed my name in your phone to “who?” Funny, I don’t even recognize you [Pre-Chorus] You thought you knew me You thought you had me But that was then, baby This is the new me [Chorus] Now you’re gonna miss me Never gonna see me But your empire’s off of me and you Yeah, we can move to an island Like Bora Bora, yeah, yeah Leave the whole damn world behind us too You can keep your apologies I’m keeping my memories Of everything I had to go through Now you’re gonna miss me But you’ll never get the past me ’Cause the past me died when I found the new [Verse 2] I hear you talking like you know my story Baby, you were there, but you missed the glory I built this thing with a broken heart Now you wanna claim you had a part Red lips, black dress, midnight drive I look a little different when I’m feeling alive You wanted the girl who would wait around Now she’s got a ticket and she’s leaving town [Pre-Chorus] You thought you knew me You thought you had me But that was then, baby This is the new me [Bridge] Don’t call my number Don’t say you’re sorry Don’t tell your friends You made me who I am Maybe you did Maybe you didn’t Either way, darling I’m better without it [Fast Rap] Yeah, I’m past that, backtrack, No, you can’t have that, Big talk, bad facts, Funny how you act mad. New town, new rules, New me, no fools, You had your shot, now you’re watching me win, And I’m not gonna let you back in. Too late, too bad, Should’ve kept what you had, Now I’m champagne on a private flight, You’re still talking ’bout me every night. No shade, no stress, I look good in a black dress, You wanted the old me? That girl’s gone— Past me, baby, move along! [Final Chorus] Now you’re gonna miss me Never gonna see me But your empire’s off of me and you Yeah, we can move to an island Like Bora Bora, yeah, yeah Watch the whole world disappear from view You can keep your apologies I’m keeping my memories But I’m not keeping you Now you’re gonna miss me But you’ll never get the past me ’Cause the past me Is somebody you never knew
