"A Break Up Song" lyrics

We've been together for a minute
I don't want life without you in it
I said I loved you and I meant it
A million times

But a groove can turn into a rut
Next thing you know we never touch
I don't want that to be us
And that is why

I wanna write a break up song
Where we never break up
I wanna stay up all night long
Spilling our guts
I wanna stop playing it cool
Cry like a fool
Beggin' for your love
I wanna write a break up song
So we never break up

In the novels and the movies
It's the saddest ones that move me
Throw in a broken heart and cue me
Cryin' in the dark

But the tragedy is real
People never say the way they really feel
'Til the end is on their heels
And they're losin' the spark

So I wanna write a break up song
Where we never break up
I wanna see how deep we've gone
Without getting cut
I wanna stop playing it cool
Cry like a fool
Beggin' for your love
I wanna write a break up song
So we never break up...

Fifty years and we're just gettin' started
I wanna love that's open-hearted
Fifty years and we're just getting started
(Ooh)
Fifty years and we're just gettin' started
I want a love that's broken-hearted
Fifty years and we're just getting started

I wanna write a break up song
So we never break up
I wanna stay up all night long
Spilling our guts
Yeah I wanna stop playing it cool
Cry like a fool
Falling back in love
I wanna write a break up song
One that keeps the fire on
I wanna write a break up song
So we never break up
