Verse 1
I don’t know if I like you
All I know is that I love you
Who knew friends could break your heart too
Yeah, I’ve got issues — but you got ‘em too
Writing these lines as my final goodbye
One last verse before I cut the tie
Pre-Chorus
You say forever, then walk away
I keep pretending I’m okay
But we both know this love’s decayed
I’m done begging you to stay
Chorus
’Cause we’re breaking up and breaking out
Kicking dust and freaking out
Here we go with that loud-ass mouth
You’re so angry, what’s that about?
What did I do — why you screaming now?
Please just calm down (down, down…)
Verse 2
I’m not sure how to say it
But I hate the way you play this
God, you love to make me famous
Now everyone knows my pain in this town
So don’t ask why I frown
You built me up just to tear me down
Bridge
Look at me, look at me now
No tears left to cry — I’m too proud
You should’ve known what I’m about
I rise up when they count me out
Final Chorus
We’re breaking up and breaking out
Kicking dust and freaking out
You talk loud but I’m tuning out
I’m the calm inside your crowd
What did I do — why you screaming now?
Please just calm down
(echo ad-lib): “calm down… calm down…”
