Rules of Breaking Up

Can't go out and not be seen 'cause you gotta give her space

Uh-huh

Can't go back to bein' friends, it don't work that way

Uh-huh

You can't call her up, tell her everything you're thinkin'

Cant show up at her place every time you're drinkin'

You can't keep hopin' that

She might be comin' back

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 goin' through

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up

Never been broke up, broke up over you

I guess I'm supposed to go right out and try to meet somebody new

Mmm

But is she gon' be as confident, intelligent and 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

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 goin' through

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up

Never been broke up, broke up

They say we need time apart

But I can't stop hopin'

Hopin' that rules are just like hearts

And they can be broken

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 goin' through (Know what I'm goin' through)

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up

Never been broke up, broke up over you (Broke up)

(Broke up, broke up)

Oh, no (Broke up)

They never been broke up (Broke up, broke up)
