[Verse 1]
We say it's over
Every other week
Block each other’s numbers
Still we never leave
You slam the door then
Wait out in your car
I’m on the porch just
Watching you fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Why we keep on choosing pain
Over peace that we could have
All these stories 'bout our name
Like a storm we never pass
[Chorus]
We’re ruining our reputation for this love
Everybody talk about us
“How they still together after all that stuff?”
Guess they never really felt us
You hurt me
I hurt you
Still we always run back
It’s true
If we’ll go this far just to break each other
Why can’t we change?
Why can’t we build a life together
[Verse 2]
Your mama call me
Say she’s tired of the show
My brother shaking his head
Telling me to let you go
But they don’t see the small things
How you hold me in the dark
They don’t hear the sorrys
That we whisper to our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
Why we keep on burning down
Every bridge we say we need
If we both know we’ll turn around
Why we bleed the same old bleed
[Chorus]
We’re ruining our reputation for this love
Everybody talk about us
“How they still together after all that stuff?”
Guess they never really felt us
You hurt me
I hurt you
Still we always run back
It’s true
If we’ll go this far just to break each other
Why can’t we change?
Why can’t we build a life together
[Bridge]
What if we learned
How to fight fair
What if “I’m right”
Didn’t keep us here
What if your tears
Didn’t drown my pride
What if this time
We’re on the same side (yeah)
[Chorus]
We’re ruining our reputation for this love
Everybody talk about us
But I don’t wanna wear this chaos like a cuff
I just wanna build us up
You hurt me
I hurt you
Baby
Can we choose something new?
If we’ll go this far just to stay together
Then let’s really change
Let’s really build a life together
