[Verse 1]
Takin' it back to when we were gone
I was so young and dumb
We were livin' so loud, yeah
Breathin' it in, the smoke from the gun
I was so young and dumb
Can't stop thinking about how

[Pre-Chorus]
We were such a pretty little picture 'til it went wrong
It went wrong
Old photographs are burning but the memories will live on
They live on, we'll never be the same

[Chorus]
I stopped counting at a thousand times
All the lies to my face
All of the summer nights
You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hate you, I hate you, ah, yeah (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Goodbye, a thousand times
I stopped counting at a thousand times
All the lies to my face
All of the summer nights
You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hate you, I hate you, ah, yeah (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Goodbye, a thousand times

[Post-Chorus]
Times, times, times
Times, times, times

[Verse 2]
Sat on the bridge, gettin' so drunk
Mixin' that coke and rum
Fingertips on the edge, yeah
We never knew who we would become
Feeling so low and numb
Still, I'll never regret how

[Pre-Chorus]
We were such a pretty little picture 'til it went wrong
It went wrong
Old photographs are burning but the memories will live on
They'll live on, we'll never be the same

[Chorus]
I stopped counting at a thousand times
All the lies to my face
All of the summer nights
You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hate you, I hate you, ah, yeah (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Goodbye, a thousand times
I stopped counting at a thousand times
All the lies to my face
All of the summer nights
You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hate you, I hate you, ah, yeah (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Goodbye, a thousand times

[Post-Chorus]
Times, times, times
Times, times, times

[Bridge]
Yeah, we on some high school shit
It's cocaine when we kiss
Caught feelings way too quick
Our love went black like liquorice
I wanna drift, Pacific Highway
4AM, fucked up like a Friday
In my head, pop pills like a migraine
Stopped fuckin' you, but I kinda like it, yeah

[Chorus]
I stopped counting at a thousand times
All the lies to my face
All of the summer nights
You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hate you, I hate you, ah, yeah (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Goodbye, a thousand times
I stopped counting at a thousand times
All the lies to my face
All of the summer nights
You would leave, I would say (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hate you, I hate you, ah, yeah (Uh-huh)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Goodbye, a thousand times

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.
