“Breakup”

Verse 1:
It was a random Tuesday
In the middle of that late May
Everything was perfect…
I thought everything was perfect

How could I be so naive
Thinking you’re into girls like me
Oh, you seemed so perfect
I guess it wasn’t worth it…

Pre-Chorus:
Somewhere along the line
All of the flags weren’t hard to find
I should’ve listened to my mom
Should’ve listened to my friends
Should’ve listened to everyone… but him

Chorus:
Was it the girl you told me don’t worry about
Was it manipulation coming out of your mouth
Cause I can tell you right now that’s not how we do it in the South

You’d better pray my daddy doesn’t find out
It’ll be a gun to your head and your grave dug out
So many reasons you’ve messed up and not one can fix this breakup

Verse 2:
You made me feel guilty
For your mistakes that you put on me
How did I think you’re perfect
All the tears I cried weren’t worth it

I can’t count the times you lied
I thought I was safe with you by my side
But that’s just another lie

Chorus:
Was it the girl you told me don’t worry about
Was it manipulation coming out of your mouth
Cause I can tell you right now that’s not how we do it in the South

You’d better pray my daddy doesn’t find out
It’ll be a gun to your head and your grave dug out
So many reasons you’ve messed up and not one can fix this breakup

Bridge:
They said run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run far away
They said I should run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run far away

Chorus:
Was it the girl you told me don’t worry about
Was it manipulation coming out of your mouth
Cause I can tell you right now that’s not how we do it in the South

You’d better pray my daddy doesn’t find out
It’ll be a gun to your head and your grave dug out
So many reasons you’ve messed up and not one can fix this breakup

Yeah not one can fix our breakup

“Good for Me”

Verse 1:
You, you wasted my time
And played with my mind
Thank God I dodged a bullet

You led me on, for way too long
Thank God I dodged that

Pre-Chorus:
We were two high school kids
You played pretend
While I was being genuine

Was I only a bet
That you still don’t regret
Now it’s time you pay your debt

Chorus:
So, good for me, I’m glad we’re not together
And good for me, I’m happier than ever
Good for me, I hope you see what you lost
It’s not that I hate you, I just hate what you did…
So good for me… yeah good for me

Verse 2:
You seemed like a good guy
so I’ll never get why
You left me with no reply

You made me fall fast
Didn’t catch me when I asked
So why would I trust you

Pre-Chorus:
We were two high school kids
Not sure what love is
But I was willing to jump in

You once asked me to write you a song
So here’s one just for you

Chorus:
Good for me, I’m glad we’re not together
And good for me, I’m happier than ever
Good for me, I know I deserve better
It’s not that I hate you, I just hate what you did…
So good for me… yeah good for me

Yeah I’m still smiling but you’re not the reason anymore
