[Verse 1]
It's always the same, found the pain after midnight
Fucking, then we fight, make a mark 'til it feels right
Then you self-destruct, and you tell me it's my fault, yeah (mm)
I already know all the words to this phone call

[Pre-Chorus]
Now we were always back and forth, and 'round again
All the bitter cycles, no they never end
Every time you thought that we could still be friends
You fuck it up

[Chorus]
Maybe in the next life
Maybe I would think twice
Maybe I would take my pride and walk out the door
Maybe in the next life
There won't be no goodbyes
Maybe I would read those signs I used to ignore
I know you're sorry but it doesn't matter no more

[Verse 2]
Wish that I had known from the way that you kissed me
From all of the scars, and the wounds, and the history, yeah
Looked in the mirror and you said we were perfect, yeah
Now I'm lookin' in the mirror all alone, was it worth it?

[Chorus]
Maybe in the next life
Maybe I would think twice
Maybe I would take my pride and walk out the door
Maybe in the next life
There won't be no goodbyes
Maybe I would read those signs I used to ignore
I know you're sorry but it doesn't matter no more

[Bridge]
'Cause I can't believe all the things that you said
And then you walked alone
And all of the things I regret

[Chorus]
Maybe in the next life
Maybe I would think twice
Maybe I would take my pride and walk out the door
Maybe in the next life
There won't be no goodbyes
Maybe I would read those signs I used to ignore

[Outro]
(Maybe I'll see you in the next life)
(Goodbye)
(Maybe I'll see you in the next life)
(Goodbye)

Charli XCX

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.
