There were girls on boys, there were girls on girls
Red heels on a table, in a champagne blur
It all gets kinda hazy when your heart's fucked up
We were emptying bottles, we were pushing our luck

And it turned into the longest night of our whole damn lives
Had the wildest times, ooh

It all started with girls on boys, girls on girls
Red heels on the table and I didn't care
It all gets kinda hazy when your heart's fucked up
I got high to forget you, I got high real hard
It all started with a broken heart

It all started with girls on boys
It all started with a broken heart

No, you wouldn't come home, so I stayed out
Hoping I wouldn't see you, with someone in the crowd
It was all kinda empty, so I filled it with rum
It was stupidly crazy, I was comfortably numb

It turned into the longest night of our whole damn lives
Had the wildest times, oh

It all started with girls on boys, girls on girls
Red heels on the table and I didn't care
It all gets kinda hazy when your heart's fucked up
I got high to forget you, I got high real hard
It all started with a broken heart

It all started with girls on boys
Girls on boys
It all started with girls on boys
Girls on girls
Red heels on the table and I didn't care
It all gets kinda hazy when your heart's fucked up
I got high to forget you, I got high real hard

It all started with a broken heart
