[Verse 1]
It's been a month now
Don't really know how to cope (Know how to cope)
Still wear your sweatshirts
Still read those letters you wrote (Letters you wrote)
[Pre-Chorus]
Putting pen onto the paper
I don't wanna turn the pages
I don't really wanna say this
I don't think we're gonna make it
And I feel myself closing off
To the thought of getting closure for us
And everybody's saying
I should be working through the pain, yeah
[Chorus]
But I
I'd rather have you than write a breakup song about you
So why?
Why do I have to write a breakup song about you?
About you
[Verse 2]
Have trouble sleepin'

Ideas won't stop
Wish I had writer's block about you (About you)
About you
[Pre-Chorus]
Putting pеn onto the paper
I don't wanna turn the pages
I don't really wanna say this (Don't really wanna say this)
I don't think we're gonna make it (Don't think we're gonna make it)
And I feel myself closing off
To the thought of getting closure for us
And everybody's saying
I should be working through the pain, yeah
[Chorus]
But I
I'd rather have you than write a breakup song about you (Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm)
So why? (Why?)
Why do I have to write a breakup song about you?
About you
[Bridge]
I know we're better off
But I'm so damn broken-hearted, I (Broken-hearted)
I'd rather lie
But I (I)
I guess I'll just write another breakup song about you
About you
[Outro]
Yeah, I
I'd rather have you than write a breakup song about you
But I
I guess I'll just write another breakup song about you
About you
