LETRA
BREAKUP (DOWN)
You oughta know
Ain’t a single night these days I don’t
Crash out and go
Crazy thinkin’ ‘bout lettin’ you go
No good excuse for what I did
Yeah, I was just a stupid kid
If I could do it all again
I’d go back to when
We had no worries
You were my only
Now I’m just lonely
Drinkin’ at the only bar in town
Swimmin’ in whiskey
Prayin’ you miss me
Hatin’ that I broke your heart
It’s on my mind, on my mind like a tattoo
Knowin’ I, knowin’ I could’ve had you
Said goodbye, said goodbye now I don’t know how
I’m ever gonna live that breakup down
Down, down
Never live it down, down, down, down, down
Down, down
I’m never gonna live that breakup
Down like the rain that’s comin’
Down like the bottle that’s running’
Out like you went through that front door
I’m lettin’ it pour
They’ll keep bringin’ you up, I’ll keep shootin’ them back
It’ll all be because I didn’t know what I had
When we had that magic back then when I was yours, baby before
We had no worries
You were my only
Now I’m just lonely
Drinkin’ at the only bar in town
Swimmin’ in whiskey
Prayin’ you miss me
Hatin’ that I broke your heart
It’s on my mind, on my mind like a tattoo
Knowin’ I, knowin’ I could’ve had you
Said goodbye, said goodbye now I don’t know how
I’m ever gonna live that breakup down
Down, down
Never live it down, down, down, down, down
Down, down
I’m never gonna live that breakup down
They’ll keep bringin’ you up, I’ll keep shootin’ them back
It’ll all be because I didn’t know what I had
When we had that magic back then when I was yours, baby before
We had no worries
You were my only
Now I’m just lonely
Drinkin’ at the only bar in town
Swimmin’ in whiskey
Prayin’ you miss me
Hatin’ that I broke your heart
It’s on my mind, on my mind like a tattoo
Knowin’ I, knowin’ I could’ve had you
Said goodbye, said goodbye now I don’t know how
I’m ever gonna live that breakup down
Down, down
Never live it down ,down, down, down, down
Down, down (aw, live it down)
I’m never gonna live that breakup down
