[Verse 1]
If there was a textbook, I'd have read it
Sittin' in the front row every lesson
What to do, what to say, should I hit you up?
And what's a break? How much space? Can I call you now?
Give me a clue 'cause I don't get it

[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly, I'm tryin' to learn
What I'm supposed to do

[Chorus]
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up
Yeah, the whole thing sucks
I never seem to follow them, I just get stuck in a circle
Going 'round and 'round
I think I've driven every corner of this old town
As a reaction or a distraction
'Cause I ain't giving you the satisfaction of knowing
I'm crying in my bar while you're sitting at the bar
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up

[Verse 2]
They say that time would do the healin'
But it's been six months and I still feel it
Could it be that I'm still drivin' past your house?
See your mom and your dad when I know you're out
I know it is but we'll say it isn't

[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly, I'm tryin' to learn
What I'm supposed to do

[Chorus]
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up
Yeah, the whole thing sucks
I never seem to follow them, I just get stuck in a circle
Going 'round and 'round
I think I've driven every corner of this old town
As a reaction or a distraction
'Cause I ain't giving you the satisfaction of knowing
I'm crying in my bar while you're sitting at the bar
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up
Mhh, yeah
Oh, yeah
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up

[Bridge]
No good, no good at breaking up
No good, no good at breaking up

[Chorus]
Yeah, the whole thing sucks
I never seem to follow them, I just get stuck in a circle
Going 'round and 'round
I think I've driven every corner of this old town
As a reaction or a distraction
'Cause I ain't giving you the satisfaction of knowing
I'm crying in my bar while you're sitting at the bar
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up

[Post-Chorus]
No
No good, no good at breaking up
Someone should've told me
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up
Breaking it up now, breaking it up now
No good, no good at breaking up
I ain't good with the rules of breaking up

[Outro]
If there was a textbook, I'd have read it
Sittin' in the front row every lesson
