Mm-mm, yeah
Mm
By now I got your bad habits all memorized
Like, when I know you need me most
You go and shut me out, figures, you Gemini
And I’m not sayin’ that I’ve got
All of the answers, but
Boy, I’ve been in love before
It’s not always peachy, look, life ain’t that easy
But one thing I know for sure is
It shouldn’t be this hard
You couldn’t DTR
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay friends?
But we houldn’t, you know what I
Couldn’t, ‘nough’s enough
If I had your heart, it wouldn’t be this hard
You wonder why suddenly I’m comin’ off indifferent
What you don’t seem to understand is
It’s not anything you said, it’s everything you didn’t, oh
Yeah, you, you always answer with
More questions to questions that scare you
We’re not always peachy, look, love ain’t that easy
But one thing I know, I know it for sure that
It shouldn’t be this hard
You couldn’t DTR
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay friends?
But we shouldn’t, you know what I
Couldn’t, ‘nough’s enough
If I had your heart, it wouldn’t be this hard
I drank too much tonight to not try to call you up
I mean that’s what our phones are for
I’m not one for titles, girl, in other words, terrified
That pussy kicked my rules out the door
I could take more shots or I could take you off your blouse
My favorite parts of fuckin’ is either when I’m done or when you’re walkin’ out my house
And you don’t pick up when I call unless I call you mine
But one thing I know is
It shouldn’t be this hard
You couldn’t DTR
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay friends?
But we shouldn’t, you know what I
Couldn’t, ‘nough’s enough
If I had your heart, it wouldn’t be this hard
Oh, hard, oh, mm
It’s not always peachy, look, love ain’t that easy
But one thing I know for sure is we shouldn’t
