Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun is setting on your last good try
Here I am again with half a goodbye
Wonder if you're really gone this time
Just when I'm about to lose my mind
There you are again on my phone
The moon is risin' and you're all alone
Maybe we could just hang a while
Maybe we can make each other smile
Oh no, here I go
[Verse 2]
Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
Why are you waiting is it way too hard?
If moving on is what you want to do
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it baby?
You can't tell me that we'll still be friends
And maybe someday we can try again
If you really need a brand new start
Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
[Verse 3]
I never ever meant to get so into you
Thought I was using you just to get me through
You know I'm broken I don't trust anyone
Last thing I needed was to fall in love
You got me dreamin' got me thinkin' I got some hope
There is nobody and someone to get to know
But I'm so scared I don't know what to do
How did you get me so into you
Oh no, and here I go
[Verse 4]
Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
Why are you waiting is it way too hard?
If moving on is what you want to do
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it baby?
You can't tell me that we'll still be friends
And maybe someday we can try again
If you really need a brand new start
Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
[Verse 5]
There's your reasons, there's your cards
What are you waiting for?
Go on and break my heart
[Verse 6]
Yeah, you can't tell me that we'll still be friends
And maybe someday we can try again
If you really need a brand new start
Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
Oh
Go on and break
Go on and break my heart
Go on and break
Go on and break my heart
