Can't go out and not be seen 'cause you gotta give her space (uh huh)
Can't go back to bein' friends, it don't work that way (uh huh)
You can't call her up, tell her everything you're thinkin'
Can't show up at her place every time you're drinkin'
You can't keep hoping that she might be callin back
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never kissed your lips, touched your skin
Had the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what Heaven was
No, they didn't have to lose that kind of love
And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your vibe
They might know what I'm goin' through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up over you
I guess I'm 'sposed to go right out and try to meet somebody new
Mm, mm
Is she gon' be as confident, intelligent, and as cool as hell as you?
No no, no no
I know we said that in the end it's probably for the best
But I gotta get this off my chest

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up
They say we need time apart, but I can't stop hopin' (hopin')
Hopin' that rules are just like hearts, and they can be broken
