This song is about the singer wanting to end a friendship but not knowing how to do so, because we all know how to break up with a lover (it’s written in so many songs, poems and shown in many movies) but we are not taught how to “break up” with a friend.
[Verse 1]
I hung up the phone and I told you
I'm coming over
But you don't know why
I sit in my car for a minute
Look through our pictures
And try not to cry
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know what I gotta do
No, but I don't got a clue how
[Chorus]
'Cause what the hell is it that I'm supposed to say?
Do I save the burning bridge or just walk away?
I know that sometimes
Good things have to end
But nobody tells you
How to break up with a friend
[Verse 2]
I can't say, "Let's see other people"
Or "I don't see a future"
No it don't work like that
It sure as hell doesn't make sense
To say, "Let's stay friends"
'Cause there's no going back
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's all for the best
I just wanna make it hurt less
[Chorus]
'Cause what the hell is it that I'm supposed to say?
Do I save the burning bridge or just walk away?
I know that sometimes
Good things have to end
But nobody tells you
How to break up with a friend
[Chorus]
'Cause what the hell is it that I'm supposed to say?
Do I save the burning bridge or just walk away?
I know that sometimes
Good things have to end
But nobody tells you
How to break up with a friend
[Outro]
I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
Send you a text
That says, "Hey, I'm outside"
