LYRICS:
you broke me first
maybe you don’t like talking too much about yourself
but you shoulda told me that you were thinking bout someone else
you’re drunk at a party or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
or your phone’s been off for a couple months, so you’re calling me now
i know you, you’re like this
when shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
and like me, i did
but i ran out of every reason
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
took a while, was in denial when i first heard
that you moved on quicker than i coulda ever
you know that hurt
swear for a while i would stare at my phone just to see your face
but now that it’s there, i don’t really know what to say
i know you, you’re like this
when shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
and like me, i did
but i ran out of every reason
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
what did you think would happen?
what did you think would happen?
i’ll never let you have it
what did you think would happen?
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first

"People cry, not because they're weak, because they've been strong for too long,"
1,788-Johnny Depp
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤
2,348I love how simple her music video is, just her singing the lyrics in a sky view
1,346They never notice your tears
3,980They never notice your pain
They never notice your depression
But they always notice your mistakes
lyrics: meaningful
1,728voice: beautiful
tate: pretty
me: addicted
hotel: trivago
fun fact: this was filmed on her phone, in quarantine, taped to the front of her mom’s car, on a random rooftop. crazy hey?
1,157i actually copy and pasted it because people never read the desc
She sounds like Camila Cabello and Billie Eilish together.. not complaining though 😍
3,230The worst ever feeling is when you cry your eyes out for someone else who is laughing with someone else
2,875Youtube is getting real comfortable with these double unskipable 15 second ads
1,064me realizing she is the “I wrote a song” singer that I was listening to on repeat every day 👀
1,630Can’t believe she turned 17 only this year, so much talent
4,477the fact that se filmed on her phone and TAPED TO THE FRONT OF HER MOMS CAR IS JUST- AMAZING!
15,055“I don’t really care how bad it hurts when you broke me first”😖damn I felt that
2,058“Yeah I don’t really care how bad it hurts when u broke me first” it’s my favorite line ever.
5,875Let’s appreciate that she made this all on video star.

2,592can't stop listening to this song
81,589Am I the only one obsessed with this song? She is so underrated...
5,025Only people that didn’t come from TikTok can like this comment.
57,912Life is fucked up. Because you can go from talking to someone every single day. You guys develop feelings for each other, sleep with facetime on each other. You build a strong relationship after dozens of hours together. Ya'll go to the movies together, ride the rollar coaster, binge Netflix, meet parents, go on dinner dates, sleep with each other, smile and laugh with each other, go to each other's sports game, sneak out together, and just be there for you. They comfort your frusturation, wipe your tears, and you guys even have silly fights that get resolved 10 minutes later. You guys have the most unbreakable bond. You are always loving one another. Your whole world depends on them and if they left, your whole world would come crashing. Then one day it really does happen. They just leave, like straight up leave. You guys never talk again. You guys go from all those hours of talking to nothing. You can't tell me that's not fucked up.
6,478Am I the only one who lays down on bed and listen’s to this amazing song?🤧❤️
12,268When she said 'you broke me first' that hit real hard..
3,714“But I don’t really care how bad it hurts when you broke me first” felt that
482Tate's voice sounds a little bit like Camila and Billie
7,313Just my opinion✌
Edit: ok guys, even though in my opinion that her voice is kinda like billie and camila, she is still tate. a beautiful girl with beautiful voice and beautiful song❤
This song is the kinda song you put on repeat, because it didn’t hurt you enough.
817When she said “And like me I did but I ran out of every reason” I felttttt that
3,734Remember when she was just playing on the piano singing awesomely... omg my reply is highlighted!! Thank you everyone for all the love, I am so happy for how far she has come
4,545Sometimes I hate how people can break me down without trying, even just the thought of them causes so much destruction
737so the guy from “one day” wasn’t all that worth it, was he?
1,601her voice on "nerve" and "first" THIS SONG HITS DIFFERENTLY I cant stop listening to this
3,981Ok but can we talk about how she looks so pretty and cool here
642Imagine not having double chin from this angle.
47,296why is no one talking about the aesthetic of this video? the scenery was so simplistic and pretty, and the filming and effects were so cool without being overdone. it's insane how she filmed this on her own!
3,689"When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it"
768Big relate that hits hard
Tate's fans: she needs to be more recognized
40,029Also us: i miss when she was our little secret
Ok who else thinks she is hecka talented like my vocals could never
861Whoever disliked it probably did it because they are mad that it premieres tomorrow and not today like RIGHT NOW
