The Breakup Song Lyrics

The Breakup Song lyrics

Years go by

The singers change

Same old story but

The words get rearranged

Somebody loved someone

Somebody left someone 

Somebody swears it wasn't

S'possed to end this way 



CHORUS

People dance to summertime

Happy songs with happy rhymes

The melodies make you wanna drive

And sing along

Singers talk about growing up

The first kiss

And bein' in love

But nothing hits as close to home

As the breakup song



Violins and "I love you's"

If they slightly miss their mark

They ring untrue 

But something 'bout goodbye

Making someone cry 

Sounds to me more like

What real people do 



CHORUS

People dance to summertime

Happy songs with happy rhymes

The melodies make you wanna drive

And sing along

Singers talk about growing up

The first kiss

And bein' in love

But nothing hits as close to home

As the breakup song



We need to talk

This ain't working out 

Can we still be friends,

I found someone else 

I need some space

This just feels wrong

Everybody's lived

The breakup song
