We held our love behind bars
No visitors, no oh no
He had my heart on death row
Yeah, he did
I don't know what was inside his mind
It wasn't what I thought so
Confronted him, let him know
Yeah, yeah, uh

[Bridge:]
That's when the book started to change the page
The yelling after that
And we always make up, but this time was different
I'm looking him in his eyes
I'm asking him for the truth
The one thing he had to say
Was "I don't wanna be with you"

[Chorus:]
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,
That's when I heard the break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
That's when I heard the break up song

What do I do now I'm free
No taking him back from that, no
But I don't really wanna go
No, I don't
Still gotta look up to the sky
And wait for the shade to go
No, I won't be alone for long, no

[Bridge:]
No regrets after that
I know we always make up, but this time was different
I'm looking him in his eyes
I'm asking him for the truth
The one thing he had to say
Was "I don't wanna be with you"

[Chorus:]
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,
That's when I heard the break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
That's when I heard the break up song

And I never thought it'd come to this
But I guess it's for the best if his love for me wasn't real
Oh, oh, and I'm a make myself get over this
Cause our love is long gone

[Chorus:]
That's when I heard the break up song, The break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
That's when I heard the break up song
