When I Broke Up with You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Bebe Rexha]
When we said goodbye, spent a hundred different nights
Cryin' hopeless on the floor to my record collection
Even though it wasn’t pretty, had to get you off my chest
For a while I was such a mess
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
When I broke up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I broke up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Bebe Rexha]
Said "I need some time," drink some whiskey and some gin
Took myself on vacation, tryna figure out the mess I'm in
I've been goin’ out every weekend
Spendin' every night with all my friends
Anything I can to fill the space you'rе in
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
When I broke up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I brokе up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
Now I got better things to do, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up with you, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up with you
[Post-Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
With a little bit of heartache, you can't go far
Make a little bit of mistakes, it's not your fault
Gettin' better every day now, it says it all, all, it says it all, all
Yeah, yeah
When we said goodbye, spent a hundred different nights
Cryin' hopeless on the floor to my record collection
Even though it wasn’t pretty, had to get you off my chest
For a while I was such a mess
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
When I broke up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I broke up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Bebe Rexha]
Said "I need some time," drink some whiskey and some gin
Took myself on vacation, tryna figure out the mess I'm in
I've been goin’ out every weekend
Spendin' every night with all my friends
Anything I can to fill the space you'rе in
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
When I broke up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I brokе up with you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
Now I got better things to do, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up with you, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up with you
[Post-Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
With a little bit of heartache, you can't go far
Make a little bit of mistakes, it's not your fault
Gettin' better every day now, it says it all, all, it says it all, all
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3: Bebe Rexha, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
Now I got a man, who can really understand me
And he gives me recognition, knows more than one position
Now we don't, even really gotta try
And we hardly ever have to fight
Now I know that I did something right
Best thing I ever did, man
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
When I broke up with you (When I broke up with you), you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I broke up with you (When I broke up with you), you (Yeah)
Now I got better things to do, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up with you (Since I broke up with you), ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up
[Post-Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
With a little bit of heartache (Yeah, yeah), you can't go far
Make a little bit of mistakes, it’s not your fault
Gettin’ better every day now, it says it all (It says it all), it says it all (It says it all)
Yeah, oh no-no
[Outro: Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas, Nick Jonas]
When I broke up with you (Yeah), you (Yeah)
You, you, ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
When I broke up with you (Yeah), you (Yeah)
You, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I broke up with you
Now I got a man, who can really understand me
And he gives me recognition, knows more than one position
Now we don't, even really gotta try
And we hardly ever have to fight
Now I know that I did something right
Best thing I ever did, man
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
When I broke up with you (When I broke up with you), you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I broke up with you (When I broke up with you), you (Yeah)
Now I got better things to do, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up with you (Since I broke up with you), ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Since I broke up
[Post-Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas, Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas]
With a little bit of heartache (Yeah, yeah), you can't go far
Make a little bit of mistakes, it’s not your fault
Gettin’ better every day now, it says it all (It says it all), it says it all (It says it all)
Yeah, oh no-no
[Outro: Bebe Rexha & Nick Jonas, Nick Jonas]
