We Don’t Talk Anymore Lyrics by Charlie Puth

Chorus: Charlie Puth

We don’t talk anymore, we don’t talk anymore
We don’t talk anymore like we used to do
We don’t love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don’t talk anymore like we used to do

Verse 1: Charlie Puth

I just heard you found the one you’ve been looking
You’ve been looking for
I wish I would have known that wasn’t me
‘Cause even after all this time, I still wonder
Why I can’t move on
Just the way you did so easily

Pre-Chorus: Charlie Puth

Don’t wanna know
What kinda dress you’re wearin’ tonight
If he’s holdin’ onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should’ve known your love was a game
Now I can’t get you outta my brain
Ooh, it’s such a shame

Chorus: Charlie Puth

That we don’t talk anymore, we don’t talk anymore
We don’t talk anymore like we used to do
We don’t love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don’t talk anymore like we used to do

Verse 2: Selena Gomez

I just hope you’re lyin’ next to somebody
Who knows how to love you like me
There must be a good reason that you’re gone
Every now and then, I think you
Might want me to come show up at your door
But I’m just too afraid that I’ll be wrong

Pre-Chorus: Selena Gomez

Don’t wanna know
If you’re lookin’ into her eyes
If she’s holdin’ onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should’ve known your love was a game
Now I can’t get you outta my brain
Ooh, it’s such a shame

Chorus: Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez, Charlie Puth

That we don’t talk anymore, we don’t talk anymore
(We don’t, we don’t, we don’t, we don’t)
We don’t talk anymore like we used to do
We don’t love anymore
What was all of it for?
(We don’t, we don’t, we don’t, we don’t)
Oh, we don’t talk anymore like we used to do
Like we used to do

Pre-Chorus: Charlie Puth, Selena Gomez

Don’t wanna know
What kinda dress you’re wearin’ tonight
If he’s givin’ it to you just right
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should’ve known your love was a game
Now I can’t get you outta my brain
Oh, it’s such a shame

Chorus: Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez

That we don’t talk anymore, we don’t talk anymore
(We don’t, we don’t, we don’t, we don’t)
We don’t talk anymore like we used to do
We don’t love anymore
What was all of it for?
(We don’t, we don’t, we don’t, we don’t)
Oh, we don’t talk anymore like we used to do

Post-Chorus: Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez

We don’t talk anymore, oh, oh
(Don’t wanna know)
(What kind of dress you’re wearin’ tonight)
(If he’s holdin’ onto you so tight)
The way I did before
We don’t talk anymore, oh, woah
(I overdosed, should’ve known your love was a game)
(Now I can’t get you outta my brain)
Oh, it’s such a shame
That we don’t talk anymore
