lyrics

Verse:
She calls on the phone
Asks if I’m home, third degree
But what does she care
She says she’s happy
With an angry tone
Almost hung up the phone
Right there

New body new man
It’s all gone to plan,
Parted ways
But it wasn’t goodbye
She said she’d always
Want to be in my life
She wasn’t the spiteful kind

Pre-Chorus:
Yeah she drove away
She found a new place
She’s picking fights
Still keeping score
If it’s not in good faith
There’s no time to waste
Old energy gotta cut cords

Chorus:
Yeah with ex-lovers
You shouldn’t roll the dice
It’s only over
When you cut them from your life

Pretend to stay friends
But they’re not playing nice
Want to hold you
Control you
You’ve got to break up twice

Verse:
Rolls her eyes and she says
I don’t want revenge
I'm just not that kind of person
Meant no more than a fling
Admits she was bad
But I just saw her worst version

Pre-Chorus:
Yeah she drove away
Found a new place
She’s picking fights
Still keeping score
If it’s not in good faith
There’s no time to waste
Old energy gotta cut cords
Chorus:
Yeah with ex-lovers
You shouldn’t roll the dice
It’s only over
When you cut them from your life
Pretend to stay friends
But they’re not playing nice
Want to hold you
Control you
You’ve got to break up twice

You got no option
Gotta freeze them out like ice
Thought it was over
So why do we still fight
New levels same devils
You always pay a price
It’s like you’re still together
You’ve got to break up twice.

Bridge:
Hope for a place I can see
Clearly, not blind in your vice
She says we’re friends now,
But why does it seem
That we’re really breaking up twice?

Chorus:
Yeah with ex-lovers
You shouldn’t roll the dice
It’s only over
When you cut them from your life
Pretend to stay friends
But they’re not playing nice
Want to hold you
Control you

You’ve got to break up twice
Back and forth and crazy
And you’re crying on the phone
It isn’t over ‘till you’re sitting all alone
New levels same devils
You always pay the price
It’s like you’re still together
You’ve got to break up twice
