Breaking Up
?? & ?? Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like we're breaking up.
I used to think that we would never part,
But now I'm dreaming with a broken heart.
It's not the worst part.

I met this girl about a year ago,
She moved right in, I tried to take it slow.
I never wanted anyone to know,
This could be different.

Feels like we're breaking up.
Baby, we keep burning up.
How's this love supposed to be?
Maybe we can make it up.

We beak up, we make up, we break up, we make up.
But it feels like we're breaking up.

Now I'm waiting for the right time,
The little words are always hard to find.
I know it's hard to let go,
I know, I know.

Feels like we're breaking up.
Baby, we keep burning up.
How's this love supposed to be?
Maybe we can make it up.

We beak up, we make up, we break up, we make up.
And it feels like we're breaking up.
I pick up your hang up, we hook up, I give up.
And it feels like we're breaking up.

This is not the end, no it's never over.
We can work it out, we can work it out.
Take another chance, so baby here it goes again.

Hey babe, what's up?
Hey listen, we gotta talk.
Okay, what's going on?
Well things haven't really been working out for us.
Wait, what?
And honestly it's you, not me.
Oh my god you're crazy. Are you serious?
You can't talk to me like this. Who do you think you are?
Oh my god I gotta get outta here.

Feels like we're breaking up.
Baby, we keep burning up.
How's this love supposed to be?
Maybe we can make it up.
Maybe we can make it up.

We beak up, we make up, we break up, we make up.
And it feels like we're breaking up.
I pick up your hang up, we hook up, I give up.




And it feels like we're breaking up.
Baby can we make it up?

@@manxey6524 i partially have, yes. i'm definitely better. when it all happened, i cried a lot. i ugly cried. i even used to scream at some point, yelling "WHY ME" when crying while looking at the sky. now i just write.

we have a child, so zero contact hasn't really been an option. there's always some contact. we're on good terms, although she constantly reminds me why i don't want ever to come back, just by being herself...

having said this, she still invades my thoughts way more often that i'd like to. i can feel myself longing for her attention, for her softness, not that i want to think about that anyway... it's weird to describe. i still find myself trying to look my best when i know i'll be around her, even though i know i just won't allow anything to happen.

there's still much left to process inside me, but i haven't dedicated time to it :( rather than "moving on" i'm just distracting myself at this point, but i know i'm in need of therapy.

for now though, heart is closed until further notice.



@Danielle-dw5gh

This one hit really hard...
I'm 38 and I've been in a toxic relationship for almost 15 years.
And just 4 years were decent.

Turns out he is a narcisist that gaslighted me horribly. His family has been the worst influence in his life since they consider corruption and questionable businesses a normal thing to do.

I've been so miserable...I had just broken up with the love of my life (who sadly cheated on me) when he presented himself like a knight in shining armor.

I fell in love with him but he became such a greedy, offensive, secretive and lying person.

When he was at his worst time I helped him but now that I'm at my worst because of health issues and depression he has shown his real dark side.

I think he is bipolar like his mother was. I can't stand him anymore.

The only reason I'm with him is because of our beautiful dog. I love him so much that I can't leave him behind.

And because I don't want to be alone...but I am ready to leave. I just need to figure out how to force him to let me be with my little boy.
I've endured so much. May God help me.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Ashley-og9ti Yes I feel this 100% my current bf is so kind and loving. He’s supportive in pretty much anything I do. He makes me feel wanted, he makes me laugh. I do think I could see is getting married for sure, but at the same time I feel like we need to some kind of break, mostly of which has to do with me and my insecurities I guess.

One, I’m not big on his family, but he is very close with them. There is a cultural and language barrier that makes things difficult. In family gatherings of his I just feel so alone and out of place and self conscious. I just feel like I don’t mesh well with them and that they don’t really care to get to know much about me. It doesn’t help that we both still live with our parents so I feel like we’re always around his family because we spend most of our time at his house. Sometimes I wonder if I’d feel the same way if we lived in a place of our own.

But aside from that I also feel like I need to be more established in my life before settling down. We’ve been together for almost 3 years now, but My insecurities with my current job situation and finances also put a strain on the relationship. He’s always paying for stuff because he knows I don’t make that much but this just makes me feel bad, more insecure, and like I can’t always give my full opinion because I’m thinking, “well he’s paying for it so…”

Then lastly, I feel like we bring out the laziness in each other. Too often we stay up late watching TV. We always eat out. We try to sit down and make plans to better ourselves but we always end up in the same place and it’s been 3 years now 😩

Idk, I think I’m going to tell him how I feel tonight. I don’t necessarily want to break up with him. Like I said I think I can see us married. But I also think we need time apart and if it’s meant to be we’ll find each other again

You’re always worried about our mental health but I want to know, how are you doing?

@sabrinab3337

I just ended my relationship of almost 5 years and all of this is true. It hurts so much, but it’s for the best.
If you’re having doubts, listen to your instincts and your feelings. Don’t force yourself to be with someone because they’re all you’ve known. Life will move on.
It’s going to be okay.

@domino1999

Same here. Ended a 5 year relationship because it was too draining. The emptiness sucks but I'd rather feel empty alone than feel lonely with their presence. Hope you're doing okay ❤

@sabrinab3337

@@domino1999 I feel your pain… I hope you’re doing better as well! We will be okay with time and mindfulness 💗 I pray you find peace and happiness in everyday!

@pooper9292

I want to end my 7 year relationship. I'm just scared of what's to come. I feel like I'm in this relationship because I'm comfortable theres a sense of security. Im scared to be alone but I know I need to take some time and learn and love myself. That way I'm not depending on others for that sense of security.

@domino1999

@@sabrinab3337 I feel way better now and with each day I'm realizing I made the right decision. I'm not gonna lie I do miss him sometimes and think about him, but I quickly regulate those emotions and remind myself of the reasons that made me leave. I hope you're feeling better too, sending you love <3

@domino1999

@@pooper9292 I understand how hard this situation is, and it may be scary to take the first step but trust me once you get the courage to do it, the freedom that comes afterward is the best feeling ever. Knowing you did the right thing for your mental health and happiness and knowing you deserve better are the things that will help you make this decision. So practice self-care and try to look at the whole relationship objectively rather than with your emotions, it may be hard indeed, but it will help you see things for what they truly are. Sending you love ❤️

My thought that keeps sticking to me is ‚But can’t we fix this together?‘. It keeps me in the relationship together with loneliness and feeling like I lose everything, even myself.
