[Verse 1]
Now is the time
We've both crossed the line
It's been way too long
And now we both see
How we can really be

[Verse 2]
And I see your face
And it reflects mine
Except mine isn't stained
With teardrops and lines
'Cause like you
Our friendship has withered

[Chorus]
Quick, go away for a long time
Before I change my mind
If you stay, I'll only want more of you
So get out of my face
Get off of my doorstep and leave me, yeah
To cry on the inside

[Verse 3]
Well I'll call you again to see if we're friends
But I think we both know that our friendship
Cannot continue
Well I'll say that I'm fine and just wait for the time
Till I know that I can live up to your expectations

[Chorus]
Quick, go away for a long time
Before I change my mind
If you stay, I'll only want more of you
Get out of my face
Get off of my doorstep and leave me, yeah
To cry on the inside, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
I didn't love you, but oh, when I'm not with you
I can't help but want you, you so bad
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Quick, go away for a long time
Before I change my mind
If you stay, I'll only want more of you
So get out of my face
Get off of my doorstep and leave me, yeah
To cry on the inside

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
