Lirik Lost The Breakup - Maisie Peters
Got the news just last month
That I am exhausting and you're not in love
Didn't say it in those words
But I know how your tone works
You're MIA, running so free
Calling your ex, forgetting 'bout me
But I know you could never
Yeah, I know you remember
So, I'm feeling and I'm dealing
With the heart you broke
While you do press-ups and repress us
And take off her clothes, oh
I'm hurting, but I'm certain it's still true
I'm the best thing that almost happened to you
I know I'm obsessed, and
Right now, I might be a mess, but
One day, you're gonna wake up
And, oh, shit, you lost the breakup
I'll smile and you'll have to face it
I'm the greatest love that you wasted
But, by then, I'll be far away (uh)
And, oh, shit, you lost the breakup
But for now, I'm out in the dust
Falling apart, oh, is she just like me?
Yeah, I reckon
You got two types: Country and Western
So, I'm feeling and I'm dealing
With the heart you broke
While you do press-ups and repress us
And take off her clothes, oh
Here's something if nothing else is true
I'm the best thing that almost happened to you
I know I'm obsessed, and
Right now, I might be a mess, but
One day, you're gonna wake up
And, oh, shit, you lost the breakup
I'll smile and you'll have to face it
I'm the greatest love that you wasted
But, by then, I'll be far away (uh)
And, oh, shit, you lost the breakup
Oh-oh, shit, you lost the breakup
You're gonna walk into some underground bar
You'll see a pretty little thing catching eyes in the dark
And it's me, I see you too, I wave
And I'm dancing over to you in the corner and you'll say
"Wow, hey, it's been forever
Do you wanna get a drink, like together?"
I say, "I'm kinda busy, but
Like, stay in touch?"
I think, "Oh, shit, I won the breakup"
I'll smile and you'll have to face it
I'm the greatest love that you wasted
But, by then, I'll be far away (uh)
And, oh, shit, you lost the breakup
And, oh, shit, you lost the breakup
(far)
