I'm certainly sitting on your last good try Here I am again with half a goodbye Wonder if you're really gone this time Just when I'm about to lose my mind There you are again on my phone The moon is rising and you're all alone Maybe we could just hang a while Maybe we can make each other smile Oh no, here I go Why don't you go ahead and break my heart? Why are you waiting, is it way too hard? If moving on is what you wanna do Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it, baby? You can't tell me that we'll still be friends And maybe someday we can try again If you really need a brand new start Why don't you go ahead and break my heart? I never ever meant to get so into you Thought I was using you just to get me through You know I'm broken, I don't trust anyone Last thing I needed was to fall in love You've got me dreaming, got me thinking, I've got some hope There is nobody else I wanna get to know But I'm so scared, I don't know what to do How did you get me so into you? Oh no, and here I go Why don't you go ahead and break my heart? Why are you waiting, is it way too hard? If moving on is what you wanna do Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it, baby? You can't tell me that we'll still be friends And maybe someday we can try again If you really need a brand new start Why don't you go ahead and break my heart? There's your reasons There's your cards What are you waiting for? The one to break my heart Yeah, you can't tell me that we'll still be friends And maybe someday we can try again If you really need a brand new start Why don't you go ahead and break my heart? Oh, go on and break, go on and break my heart Go on and break, go on and break my heart
