Talking in my sleep at night
Making myself crazy
Out of my mind [2x]
Wrote it down and read it out
Hoping it would save me
Too many times [2x]
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love
He doesn't love me
So I tell myself
I tell myself
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling
'Cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules I count them
I got new rules I count them
I gotta tell them to myself
[2x]
I keep pushing forward
But he keeps pulling me backwards
Nowhere to turn (nowhere)
Nowhere to turn (no)
Now I'm standing back from it
I finally see the pattern
I never learn [2x]
But my love (love)
He doesn't love me
So I tell myself
I tell myself
I do [3x]
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling
'Cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules I count them
I got new rules I count them
I gotta tell them to myself
[2x]
Practice makes perfect
I'm still trying to learn it by heart
(I got new rules I count them)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it
'Cause I
(I got new) [3x]
One, don't pick up the phone (yeah)
You know he's only calling
'Cause he's drunk and alone (and alone)
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules I count them
I got new rules I count them
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules I count them
(Baby you know I count them)
I gotta tell them to myself
Don't let him in [2x]
(Don't) [4x]
Don't be his friend [2x]
(Don't) [4x]
[2x]
