When the Party’s Over Lyrics by Billie Eilish
Verse 1
Don’t you know I’m no good for you?
I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin’
But nothin’ ever stops you leavin’
Chorus
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
Verse 2
Don’t you know too much already?
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
Chorus
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
Yeah, I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
Bridge
But nothin’ is better sometimes
Once we’ve both said our goodbyes
Let’s just let it go
Let me let you go
Chorus
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
