Official 'heartbeat' Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
It was so nice ‘cause I met you, friend
We started talking, got connected
Gossipin’, tea, gasps
And we'd always laugh

Then, you became a threat to our friendship
Didn't think I'd learn some hard lessons
Missed all the red flags
And you just went mad

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it seemed to give you joy
That smirk on your face, watchin' me fall
Yeah, you hurt me yet you give me
Side eye everywhere that I go

[Chorus]
Our friendship ended in a heartbeat
Didn't think the truth would hit through me
Did all the shit you wanted like you asked
Even my friends could see that
You were just usin’ me the whole time

[Verse 2]
You stood by my side through all the hate
You were supportin' me all the way
All of our fun bash
Now turned into ash

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we went from friends to bein’ unlisted from both of our phones
Loved you but you put this dagger in me
It cut right to the bone

[Chorus]
Our friendship ended in a heartbeat
Didn't think the truth would hit through me 
Did all the shit you wanted like you asked
Even my friends could see that
You were just usin’ me the whole time

[Bridge]
We were always tied together
And now, that rope has been severed
Thought that we'd be friends forever
But won't happen whatsoever

Thought the hurt would end the next day
But, it continued on and on
Gatherin’ thoughts
I cried myself to sleep one night thinkin' ‘bout it all
The fact that it was all just an act
Just turned my heart right into glass
You dropped it, but I've found an ice pack
At times, I feel like runnin’ back

I know for a fact you loved me
But at the same time, you kept me under your control
Was blinded to see you're petty
After all this time, your backstabbin’ ripped up my soul

Could erase all our memories
But, won’t do it, ‘cause it’ll hurt me
To let go of ‘em all (to let go of ‘em all)
You left a deep cut scar in my heart

Yeah, no one even knows the real you
Only you know who you're gonna hurt next
Yeah, you treated me like I was some fool
I should've known we'd end up as ex-friends

[Refrain]
I tried to put off all the fires
That you had left behind
Then, I had to say goodbye
And I was heartbroken

I sighed thinkin’ ‘bout how blind I was
Not seein’ all the times where
You would just lose your mind
But, now it’s all over
And now, I’m in peace without ya
(Without ya)

[Chorus]
Our friendship ended in a heartbeat
Didn't think the truth would hit through me 
Did all the shit you wanted like you asked
Even my friends could see that
You were just usin’ me the whole time
