We held our love behind bars
No visitors, no oh no
He had my heart on death row

Yeah, he did
I don't know what was inside his mind
It wasn't what I thought so

Confronted him, let him know
Yeah, yeah, uh


[Bridge:]
That's when the book started to change the page
The yelling after that

And we always make up, but this time was different
I'm looking him in his eyes
I'm asking him for the truth

The one thing he had to say
Was "I don't wanna be with you"


[Chorus:]
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,

That's when I heard the break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
That's when I heard the break up song


What do I do now I'm free
No taking him back from that, no

But I don't really wanna go
No, I don't
Still gotta look up to the sky

And wait for the shade to go
No, I won't be alone for long, no


[Bridge:]
That's when the book started to change the page
No regrets after that

I know we always make up, but this time was different
I'm looking him in his eyes
I'm asking him for the truth

The one thing he had to say
Was "I don't wanna be with you"


[Chorus:]
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,
He let me go, go-oh, go-oh,

That's when I heard the break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
That's when I heard the break up song


And I never thought it'd come to this
But I guess it's for the best if his love for me wasn't real

Oh, oh, and I'mma make myself get over this
Cause our love is long gone


[Chorus:]
That's when I heard the break up song, The break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song

The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
The break up song, the break up song, the break up song
That's when I heard the break up song
