  • (You broke me first, oh)

    Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself
    But you should've told me that you were thinkin' '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 months, so you're calling me now

    I know you, you're like this
    When shit 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, 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 shit 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)
