You broke me first

Maybe you don′t like talking too much about yourself
But you should’ve told me that you were thinking ′bout someone else
You’re drunk at a party, or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
Your phone′s been off for a couple of months, so you′re calling me now

I know you, you’re like this
When **** don′t go your way, you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I ran out of every reason

Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
Could you tell me, where′d you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first

Took a while, I was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker than I could′ve ever, you know that hurt
Swear, for a while, I would stare at my phone just to see your name
But now that it’s there, I don’t really know what to say

I know you, you′re like this
When **** don′t go your way, you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I ran out of every reason

Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
Could you tell me, where′d you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first

What did you think would happen?
What did you think would happen?
I′ll never let you have it
What did you think would happen?

Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
Could you tell me, where′d you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
(You broke me first)

You broke me first, oh-oh
