[Verse 1]
We were good until we weren't
You had to know that it would hurt
When you got drunk and said I was too sensitive
All my friends, they hated you
Said steer away from datin' you
You never showed you loved me
You just said you did
[Pre-Chorus]
After all the shit that I put up with (Put up with)
All the nights I put the blame on me, tryna fix it
I realize my emotions are indifferent (Indifferent)
Listenin' to Lorde, sittin' in the backseat
That's when it hits me
[Chorus]
I've gotta break up with Alex
It's gotten way too dramatic
I've gotta tеll him that it's over
We're past thе point of closure
Gotta break up with Alex
[Post-Chorus]
Break up with Alex
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Break up with Alex
[Verse 2]
You quit your job out of spite
But all you did was prove me right
I don't know why I'm so damn self-destructive (Destructive)
And I can never clear my head
Of all the times you shit the bed
I can't believe you're somebody I trusted
[Pre-Chorus]
After all the shit that I put up with (Put up with)
All the lies, I put the blame on me, tryna fix it
I realize my emotions are indifferent (Indifferent)
Listenin' to Lorde, sittin' in the backseat
That's when it hits me
[Chorus]
I've gotta break up with Alex
It's gotten way too dramatic
I've gotta tell him that it's over
We're past the point of closure
Gotta break up with Alex (Alex, Alex)
I've gotta break up with Alex
(Ba-da-da-doo-da)
It's gotten way too dramatic
(Ba-da-da-doo-da)
I've gotta tell him that it's over
(Ba-da-da-doo-da)
We're past the point of closure
(Ba-da-da-doo-da)
Gotta break up with Alex (Alex, Alex)
(Ba-da-da-doo-da)
Gotta break up with Alex
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Ba-da-da-doo-da
(Alex, Alex, Alex)
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Break up with Alex
(Alex, Alex, Alex)
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Ba-da-da-doo-da
(Alex, Alex, Alex)
Ba-da-da-doo-da
Break up with Alex

Alex is a real person. It is about one relationship—a very toxic, codependent relationship. I was listening to Lorde in my best friend’s car, and my seat was fully back.
