New Lyrics – Daya

[Verse 1]
When you walk past that park near your apartment now
Do you think about me? Do you think about me?
Do you drive fast when you realize you’re on my street?
Do you drive slowly? Do you think about me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I could pack up my suitcase and just walk away
Walk away (Walk away)
Leave you with all of the s*it I didn’t wanna take
My mistake (My mistake)

[Chorus]
I’m missing you, I’m missing you
What the hell did I do, did I do?
Messing with someone new, thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don’t want new, I want you
I’m missing you, I’m missing you
What the hell did I do, did I do?
Messing with someone new, thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don’t want new, I want you

[Drop]
Don’t want new, I want you
Don’t want new, I want you

[Verse 2]
I’m in his bed right next to him, but he don’t know
I’m just thinking ’bout you, I’m thinking ’bout you
When it’s 3 AM and I’m at that diner with his friends
I ain’t thinking ’bout them, I’m just thinking ’bout you

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I could pack up my suitcase and just walk away
Walk away (Walk away)
Leave you with all of the s*it I didn’t wanna take
Wanna take (Wanna take)

[Chorus]
I’m missing you, I’m missing you
What the hell did I do, did I do?
Messing with someone new, thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don’t want new, I want you
I’m missing you, I’m missing you
What the hell did I do, did I do?
Messing with someone new, thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don’t want new, I want you

[Drop]
Don’t want new, I want you
Don’t want new, I want you

[Bridge]
Thought I’d be better without you
I can’t stop thinking about you
Now I’m with someone new (I want you)
Thought I’d be better without you
I can’t stop thinking about you
Now I’m with someone new (I want you)

[Chorus]
I’m missing you, I’m missing you
What the hell did I do, did I do?
Messing with someone new, thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don’t want new, I want you

[Outro]
Messing with someone new, thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don’t want new, I want you
