"Bend The Rules" lyrics

"Bend The Rules"

I just called to say
That I miss you, babe
Wondering what you're doing now
At your favourite place
You go and list the names
Is there one you're leaving out?

I'm not saying that you're lying
But you're leaving out the truth
And I'm not saying that you're guilty
'Cause I don't have any proof
Feeling like I'm going crazy
And I don't know what to do
'Cause on paper, you don't break them
But it hurts so bad the way you bend the rules
The way you bend the rules

Someone makes you laugh
I can't help but ask
But you won't say what it's about
Pour myself a glass
It won't be the last
Just all medicine for now

I'm not saying that you're lying
But you're leaving out the truth
And I'm not saying that you're guilty
'Cause I don't have any proof
Feeling like I'm going crazy
And I don't know what to do
'Cause on paper, you don't break them
But it hurts so bad the way you bend the rules
The way you bend the rules
The way you bend the rules

I'm not saying that you're lying
But you're leaving out the truth
And I'm not saying that you're guilty
'Cause I don't have any proof
Feeling like I'm going crazy
And I don't know what to do
'Cause on paper, you don't break them
But it's just not fair, the way you bend the rules

The way you bend the rules
The way you bend the rules
The way you bend the rules

Niall Horan told The Sun about "Bend The Rules", "This song kind of talks about, when I call you up, you might miss a name out when I ask you who's around and you're not breaking the rules but you're kind of bending them. In my head it was kind of like my Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia moment."
During this song's episode of Niall Horan's "Heartbreak Weather Watch" series, he—as Niall Storm—explained to the audience, "...today's forecast is mostly your problem. You heard me. Go take a look for yourselves. It's not like it's against the rules."
