Christopher Nolan
MIA
[Intro]
Why you gotta do that?
Why you gotta do-
(Oh my God, Ponyboy!)

[Verse 1]
12 a.m. still haven’t texted me back
I got a real bad feeling things are falling off track (Things are falling off track)
I've got a scary intuition that the things that I lack
Have got your phone on silent, let the screen turn black (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pick up your phone, I wanna talk to ya (I wanna talk)
'Cause I'm all alone, I can't think straight (I can't think straight)
My heartbeat’s beatin' 'cause I thought I knew ya (It can't stop)
Keep leavin' me on read, you're going MIA (MIA)

[Chorus]
Why you gotta do that?
Why you gotta do
Everything you know I hate?
I hit your phone up, but I don’t get no luck
'Cause you’re always going MIA
Why you gotta say those things?
Things you know that I don’t like
Why you gotta do that to me?

[Verse 2]
My homie told me it was bad, saw the red flag (The red flag)
I double text her, but I still don’t get no text back (Don't get no text back)
She coming home late, she coming with a new sweater
Shoulda saw signs, shoulda knew better
I could smell on her breath that she had just a mint (Just had a mint)
Not enough to cover up an unfamiliar scent (Unfamiliar scent)
You took a piece of me right from my heart
Got no time for games, baby we just can’t restart
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m falling to pieces
Broke like a bottle
But we can’t just be friends
It’s a hard pill to swallow
Now all of your girlfriends (Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Just say that I’m shallow (Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh)
But we can’t just reset (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
You're a hard act to follow, (I get it, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Oh-oh, yuh

[Chorus]
Why you gotta do that?
Why you gotta do
Everything you know I hate?
I hit your phone up, but I don’t get no luck
'Cause you’re always going MIA
Why you gotta say those things?
Things you know that I don’t like
Why you gotta do that to me?

[Bridge]
I ripped up our pictures, though memories remain
An accident, unfortunate, too hard to explain
Like all good things, this must come to an end
All I ask is next time don't go off with a friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m falling to pieces
Broke like a bottle
But we can’t just be friends
It’s a hard pill to swallow
Now all of your girlfriends
Just say that I’m shallow
But we can’t just reset
You're a hard act to follow, oh-oh, yuh

[Chorus]
Why you gotta do that
Why you gotta do (Why you gotta do?)
Everything you know I hate? (Everything you know I hate)
I hit your phone up, but I don’t get no luck (Hit your phone up)
'Cause you’re always going MIA
Why you gotta say those things (Gotta say those things)
Things you know that I don’t like (Things that I don't like)
Why you gotta do that to me? (Yuh)
