New Rules Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
Out of my mind, out of my mind
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
Too many times, too many times

[Pre-Chorus]
My love, he makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
My love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself

[Chorus]
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you'll only wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules, I count 'em

[Verse 2]
I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps on pullin' backwards
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to turn
Now I'm standin' back from it, I finally see the pattern
I never learn, I never learn
[Pre-Chorus]
My love, he makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
My love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself

[Chorus]
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you'll only wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him

[Bridge]
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna learn it by heart
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I

[Chorus]
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you'll only wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
[Post-Chorus]
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I tell myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I tell myself
I got new rules, I count 'em

[Outro]
Don't let him in
Don't be his friend
I got new rules, I count 'em
Don't let him in, no
Don't be his friend
I got new rules, I count 'em

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
