[Verse 1]

I ain't the best at findin' the best red

Dozen roses that steal your breath when I bring 'em home

And, baby, you ain't too great at turnin' the page

Lettin' go of my little mistakes, safe to say we both

Got some room to grow

But if there's one thing we know


[Chorus]

We got breakin' up down

You go to your mama's

I'll be goin' hard at the bar

Tryna forget all about

You 'til Friday rolls around

And we're sayin' that we're sorry

It's funny how we are, we

Say goodbye, then, "Hey, you up?"

Make a mess, then make it up

We ain't got forever figured out

But we got breakin' up down


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, we got breakin' up down


[Verse 2]

I wish that it was different, but

Girl, you're the G.O.A.T. of hittin' that open road

Packin' that little Honda Accord full of all your things

And I ain't too bad at tellin' you, "Don't come back"

There's no one better at lettin' you leave


[Chorus]

Yeah, we got breakin' up down

You go to your mama's

I'll be goin' hard at the bar

Tryna forget all about

You 'til Friday rolls around

And we're sayin' that we're sorry

It's funny how we are, we

Say goodbye, then, "Hey, you up?"

Make a mess, then make it up

We ain't got forever figured out

But we got breakin' up down


[Bridge]

The teardrops and taillights and "go to hell's"

Then, "Hey, I've been missin' you again, baby"

I'd say we got breakin' up down

Yeah, we got breakin' up down


[Chorus]

Yeah, we got breakin' up down

You go to your mama's

I'll be goin' hard at the bar

Tryna forget all about

You 'til Friday rolls around

And we're sayin' that we're sorry

It's funny how we are, we

Say goodbye, then, "Hey, you up?"

Make a mess, then make it up

We ain't got forever figured out

But we got breakin' up down


[Outro]

Aw, yeah, aw, yeah
