Rules of Breaking Up

[Verse 1]
Can't go out and not be seen
’Cause you gotta give her space (Uh-huh)
Can't go back to being friends
It don't work that way (Uh-huh)
You can’t call her up
Tell her everything you're thinking
Can't show up at her place
Every time you're drinking
You can't keep hoping that
She might be coming back

[Chorus]
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never kissed your lips
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what heaven was
No they didn't have to lose that kind of love
And if they ever saw that smile
Ever felt your fire
They might know what I'm going through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up over you

[Verse 2]
I guess I’m supposed to go right out
And try to meet somebody new, mm-mm
Is she going to be as confident
Intelligent and as cool as hell as you? No no, no no
I know he said that in the end it’s probably for the best
But I gotta get this off my chest

[Chorus]
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never kissed your lips
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what heaven was
No they didn’t have to lose that kind of love
And if they ever saw that smile
Ever felt your fire
They might know what I'm going through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up over you

[Bridge]
They say that you need time apart
But I can't stop hoping
Hoping that the rules are just like hearts
And they can be broken

[Chorus]
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never kissed your lips
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what heaven was
No they didn’t have to lose that kind of love
And if they ever saw that smile
Ever felt your fire
They might know what I'm going through (what I'm going through)
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up (broke up)
Broke up over you (Broke up, broke up, broke up)
They never been broke up (broke up, broke up)
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
