To keep you from breaking my heaBmrt
GEven though I said I didn’t love you I lAied I liBmed
GEven though I said I didn’t need you I lAied I liBmed

GI can’t fall for you, can’t give my all to you
ACan’t let you think that Imma let the game stall for you
BmGotta protect me you gotta sweat me
BmYou said you thought you was ready and I said let’s see
GBut I ain’t mean that, I need some fucking proof
A'Cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose
BmYou just a heart breaker won’t let you break mine
Bm'Cause I’ll be smashing windows and cutting them break lines

GI thought eventually you would let me go
AThat was my insecurities and my ego
BmMissed my jump shot missed my free throw
BmMiss the way we kiss, miss the D yo
GMan it was good while it lasted
AThat shit wasn’t real it was magic
BmIf it was a record it would have been classic
BmBut fuck you though, orgasmic
