We had our love behind bars,
No visitors no oh no
He held 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

[Bridge] This is when the book started to change the page
We're 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, oh, oh
He let me go oh, 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 that I'm free?
No taking him back from that, no
But I don't really wanna go
No, 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] This is 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, oh, oh
He let me go oh, 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 would come to this
But I guess it's for the best if his loving me wasn't real
Oh, oh, and when i'll make myself go over this
Cause I let this one go

[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 (x3)
That's when I heard the break up song
