[Verse 1]
Yeah, we got a situation
Lock down, and I'm trapped in the basement
I'm a victim of replacement
'Cause you acting so leather
Trying to put across your statement, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know you struggle
Choke when you see love grow

[Chorus]
You, you lied
Ha ha ha ha, I was right
All along, good job
Good job, you fucked it up

[Verse 2]
'Cause we used to be the cool kids
You were old school, I was on the new shit
We were addicted to the blue print
But we threw it in the flame
And now we're never gonna trace it, oh
'Cause we used to be the cool kids
You were old school, I was on the new shit
We were addicted to the blue print
But we threw it in the flame
And now we're never gonna trace it, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know you struggle
Choke when you see love grow

[Chorus]
You, you lied
Ha-ha-ha-ha, I was right
All along, good job
Good job, you fucked it up

[Bridge]
And now you're walking on your own
Rain falls down, I'm not answering my phone
I got to phase you out my zone
Hope you realize now that I am never coming home
You were meant to be alone

[Chorus]
You, you lied
Ha-ha-ha-ha, I was right
All along, good job
Good job, you fucked it up
It's a front, good job
Good job, you fucked it up
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

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.
