Can't go out and not be seen 'cause you gotta give her space
(Uh-huh)
Can't go back to being friends, it don't work that way
(Uh-huh)

You can't call her up, tell her everything you're thinkin
Can't show up at her place every time you're drinkin
You can't keep hopin' that
She might be comin' back

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up never kissed your lips
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what Heaven was
No, they didn't have to lose that kind of love

And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your fire
They might know what I'm goin' through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up over you

I guess I'm supposed to go right out and try to meet somebody new
Mmm
Is she gon' be as confident, intelligent and as cool as hell as you?
No, no, no, no

I know he said that in the end it's probably for the best
But I gotta get this off my chest

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up never kissed your lips
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what Heaven was
No, they didn't have to lose that kind of love

And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your fire
They might know what I'm goin' through
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up

They say that you need time apart
But I can't stop hopin
Hoping that the rules are just like hearts
And they can be broken

Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up never kissed your lips
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
Didn't have a clue what Heaven was
No, they didn't have to lose that kind of love

And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your fire
They might know what I'm goin' through (Know what I'm goin' through)
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
Never been broke up, broke up over you (Broke up, broke up, broke up)
Oh, no (Broke up)
They never been broke up (Broke up, broke up)
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
