The Hype Lyrics

In your dreams, was it perfect?
Did it feel real? Was it worth it?

I don't wanna go back to the place, so insecure
Was I not the girl you signed up for?
I know why you wanna talk
'Cause you only call me when I've done something extraordinary

Tell me, did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me, did you ever love me?
Honestly, did I live up to the hype?
'Cause you held me, held me like a trophy
Then left the party when the magic died
Yeah, you
Gonna be sorry, and I'll be fine, oh
Tell me
Did I live up to the hype?
Did I live up to the hype?

In my dreams, you stuck around
You didn't leave when I let my guard down

I don't wanna go back to the place, so insecure
Was I not the girl you signed up for?
I know why you wanna talk
'Cause you only call me when I've done something extraordinary

Tell me, did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me, did you ever love me?
Honestly, did I live up to the hype?
'Cause you held me, held me like a trophy
Then left the party when the magic died
Yeah, you
Gonna be sorry, and I'll be fine, oh
Tell me
Did I live up to the hype?
Did I live up to the hype?

So I hope you enjoy the ride
Now I'm out of sight
But still on your mind

Did you ever love me, did you ever love me?
Honestly, did I live up to the hype?
'Cause you held me, held me like a trophy
Then left the party when the magic died
Yeah, you
Gonna be sorry, and I'll be fine, oh
Tell me
Did I live up to the hype?
Did I live up to the hype?
