We've always been a pretty, happy couple on the field and on the feed
But lately I’ve been thinking we're in trouble, can't figure out what you need
I’ve never had great interpersonal skills
Trying to work you out but I know I'm doomed to fail
I have to assume the worst
Brave face on, right foot first
And say
So you're thinking of breaking up with me?
Well, here's a handy list of things to try
(Step one) Consider alternatives
Talk it out, squash your doubts, see a therapist
(Step two) Let me down slowly
Give me very clear signals for two to three weeks
(Step three) Do it in a private space
I don't want people knowing that you've lost your faith
(Step four) Afterwards, disappear overnight
Don't call, don't text, just get out of my life
Don’t know how I missed the moments of silence and awkward looks and curt remarks (Oh)
And after all the years of treating love like science, I have learned it’s more of an art
You know I really hate to be the butt of the joke
But it's better than you wringing out all of my hope
I have to assume the worst
Brave face on, right foot first
And say
So you’re thinking of breaking up with me?
Well, here's a handy list of things to try
(Step one) Consider alternatives
Talk it out, squash your doubts, see a therapist
(Step two) Let me down slowly
Give me very clear signals for two to three weeks
(Step three) Do it in a private space
I don't want people knowing that you've lost your faith
(Step four) Afterwards, disappear overnight
Don’t call, don't text, just get out of my life
So what have we learned in this lesson?
Do we need a follow-up session?
I've stated my conditions and I'm hoping you've listened
Before you make your decision
To go
To go
Don't go (don't go, baby) (don't go, baby)
Don't go (don't go, baby) (don't go, baby) (don't go)
