Rules Of Breaking Up – Brandon Ratcliff

Can’t go out and not be seen cause you gotta give her space, uh huh
Can’t go back to being friends, it don’t work that way, uh huh
You can’t call her up tell her everything you’re thinking
Can’t show up at her place every time you’re drinking
You can’t keep hoping that she might be calling by

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 going through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Ever been broke up? Broke up over you

I guess I’m ‘sposed to go right out and try to meet somebody new, mm mm
Is she going to be as confident, intelligent and as 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 going through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Ever been broke up? Broke up

They say that you need time apart, but I can’t stop hoping
Hoping that the 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 going through (what I’m going through)
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Ever been broke up (broke up)? Broke up over you
(Broke up, broke up, broke up)
They never been broke up (broke up, broke up), never been broke up
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
