Payphone (CH)

I walk up to the payphone and dig in my pocket.

I'm at a payphone, trying to call home

"Fuck." I mumble.

"Do you have a quarter I can use?" I ask.

"Uh, yeah." The woman says digging in her pocket.

She hands me a quarter and I smile.

"Thank you so much." I say.

She smiles and walks away.

I put a quarter in the slot and pick the phone up. I dial a number and wait.

All of my change, I spent on you

"Hello." Someone says.

"Can you come get me?" I ask.

30 minutes later...

A car pulls up and the window rolls down.

"Where the fuck have you been?!" Maddy asks.

I get in the passenger seat and Maddy starts to drive.

"I'm waiting." Maddy says.

"Jail." I say.

"Why the fuck were you in jail? Do they know where the bodies are?" Maddy asks.

"McKay saw me and he was ruling me up. Saying he was still seeing Cassie and I lost my temper." I say.

"Just say you beat his ass and go about your day." Maddy says.

"I called Cassie in jail and she yelled at me so I'm assuming it's true." I say.

Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong

"And it was going so well. She better never let me catch her in the streets." She says.

Where are the plans we made for two?

"I just don't understand how she could just change sides all of a sudden." I say.

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be

"Cassie's blonde, she's a fucking moron. She also has the brain capacity of an aborted baby." She says.

I start to cry and she glances at me.

"Bad bitches don't cry." She says.

I gave up a lot of shit for Cassie and never got anything back in return. She just left me without hesitation.

It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me

"I'm not gonna make it." Cassie says.

You say it's too late to make it

"Can you try to?" I ask.

But is it too late to try?

"Cassie." Someone says in the background.

And in our time that you wasted

"No." Cassie says.

Cassie hangs up and I sigh.

All of our bridges burned down

Time Skip

"How you been?" Fezco asks.

"I've wasted so much of my time and energy." I say.

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights

"Now I look like a moron." I say.

Now I'm paralyzed

"I always thought you looked kinda goofy but I didn't want to be the one to say it." Fezco says.

"But I know what's like to get stabbed in the back. You think you finally found a safe haven and the walls are made of your enemies." Fezco says.

Still stuck in that time
When we called it "Love"

"Ain't nothing gonna last forever." He says.

But even the sun
Sets in paradise

"I spent the night in jail and she even cared. I had to ask a random a woman for a quarter just to call Maddy right come get me." I say.

I'm at a payphone, trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you

"These hoes ain't loyal." He says.

Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

"I can tell you were a Disney kid because everybody else knows that there is no happy ever after." He says.

If happy-ever-after's did exist
I would still be holdin' you like this

"Disney is full of shit." Fezco says.

All those fairytales are full of shit

"Someone drove by playing I Will Always Love You and I wanted to bang my head against a wall." I say.

One more fuckin' love song, I'll be sick, oh

"Shit, I wanna do that without a song." Fezco says.

I laugh and he smiles.

Time Skip

"I just wanna go home." I say.

"No, we're gonna get you some bitches." Maddy says.

"What about her?" Maddy asks pointing at someone.

"That's Cassie." I say.

"Shit, I'm drunk as fuck right now." Maddy says.

"But you drove us here." Lexi says.

"I know." Maddy says.

I see McKay and Cassie kiss and I roll my eyes.

You turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday

"He has bruises on his face. Damn you really did best his ass." Maddy says.

"And now I'm about to go beat Cassie's ass." Maddy says.

Kat grabs Maddy's arm and she groans.

"Don't worry about it, it's her lost." I say.

I gave you my love to borrow
But you just gave it away

"Didn't see like her lost when you cried the whole way here." Rue says.

You can't expect me to be fine (Oh-oh)

"Cassie doesn't care so why should I?" I ask.

I don't expect you to care (Yeah)
I know I said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I am upset and angry at Cassie. I wasted my time and energy for a year.

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights

And I hate that I still love her.

Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time
When we called it "Love"

Maybe I should just come to terms with me never being happy.

But even the sun
Sets in paradise

I spent the night in jail because I thought someone was lying when they weren't.

I'm at a payphone, trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

Fuck Cassie, I don't need her.

Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two? (Yeah)

I hold my hand out and Maddy stares at me.

"Dance with me." I say.

"I supposed I do like to dance." Maddy says grabbing my hand.

"I guess so." Cassie says grabbing my hand.

If happy-ever-after's did exist
I would still be holdin' you like this

I smile and she follows me.

"This is like that Disney movie. Beauty and The Beast — I'm the beauty and you're the beast. Obviously." Maddy says.

And all those fairytales are full of shit
One more fuckin' love song, I'll be sick (Yeah, uh)

I laugh and she smiles.

Now, I'm at a payphone

Time Skip

A while ago I tweeted some lyrics I wrote and the tweet went viral. Everyone wanted the song released. After thinking about and Maddy threatening to break my arm if I didn't release it, I did.

Sick debuted at #1 and got 2 million streams within 30 minutes of the release. I've been making the news ever since.

"Y/n." Cassie says.

"I know you hear me." Cassie says as I keep walking.

"What?" I ask.

"Where's my money?" Cassie asks.

"What money?" I ask.

"You wouldn't have this success without me." Cassie says.

"You've lost your fucking mind." I say laughing.

Man, fuck that shit

"I'm not giving you shit. I busted my ass to make that song, you just got your back blown out." I say.

I'll be out spendin' all this money while you're sittin' 'round
Wondering why it wasn't you who came up from nothin'

"Shit I just bought a house and car. Life if good." I say.

Made it from the bottom, now when you see me, I'm stuntin'
And all of my cars start with the push of a button

"You've changed. You've changed your number, attitude — everything." Cassie says.

Telling me I changed since I blew up or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone so you never could call it

"Did all the money and fame make you this way?" Cassie asks.

Don't need my name on my shirt, you can tell that I'm ballin'

"You made me this way! You dropped me and didn't realize what you lost." I say.

Swish, what a shame, coulda got picked
Had a really good game, but you missed your last shot

"Now you're standing here telling me that I owe you." I say.

So you talk about who you see at the top

"I honestly just wanted to get back together." She says.

"Too bad because I have a girlfriend." I say.

Or what you could've saw, but sad to say it's over for

"Who?" She asks.

"Mind your business." I say.

"I heard someone say your name." I say.

"It's not serious, mind your business." Cassie says.

"You didn't want me and all of sudden you do because other people see how great I am." I say.

Wished I'd go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want

"Have fun with your boyfriend." I say.

So you can go take that little piece of shit with you (Yeah)

I walk away and sigh.

I'm at a payphone, trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you (Woo)

The audacity of that bitch.

Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong (Yeah)
Where are the plans we made for two? (Yeah)

I don't know why everyone thinks I owe them something. They all turned their back on me and they're mad that I'm turning mine on them.

If happy-ever-after's did exist (Oh)
I would still be holdin' you like this

I'm not gonna let them fuck my day up.

And all these fairytales are full of shit (Yeah)
One more fuckin' love song, I'll be sick

I fucking made it!

Yeah, now, I'm at a payphone
