A Break Up Song - Jon McLaughlin

We’ve been together for a minute

I don’t want life without you in it

I said I loved you and I meant it

A million times

But a groove can turn into a rut

Next thing you know we never touch

I don’t want that to be us

And that is why

I wanna write a break up song

Where we never break up

I wanna stay up all night long

Spilling our guts

I wanna stop playing it cool

Cry like a fool

Beggin' for your love

I wanna write a break up song

So we never break up

In the novels and the movies

It’s the saddest ones that move me

Throw in a broken heart and cue me

Cryin' in the dark

But the tragedy is real

People never say the way they really feel

'Til the end is on their heels

And they’re losin' the spark

So I wanna write a break up song

Where we never break up

I wanna see how deep we’ve gone

Without getting cut

I wanna stop playing it cool

Cry like a fool

Beggin' for your love

I wanna write a break up song

So we never break up…

Fifty years and we’re just gettin' started

I wanna love that’s open-hearted

Fifty years and we’re just getting started

(Ooh)

Fifty years and we’re just gettin' started

I want a love that’s broken-hearted

Fifty years and we’re just getting started

I wanna write a break up song

So we never break up

I wanna stay up all night long

Spilling our guts

Yeah I wanna stop playing it cool

Cry like a fool

Falling back in love

I wanna write a break up song

One that keeps the fire on

I wanna write a break up song

So we never break up
