Breaking Up
Daniel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
Cosmo says I should be crying
Heartbroke from the cheating and lying
Momma says I’m in denial
Moving on might take a while
Give it time, I’ll be just fine
But it don’t keep me up at night
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
I ain’t ever felt this free
Now that you’re not next to me
I finally got a real chance
To find myself a real man
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
I won’t miss your video games
Or getting called your ex’s name
Now I won’t have to pretend
That I ever really liked your friends
‘Cause I never really liked your friends
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
I ain’t ever felt this free
Now that you’re not next to me
I finally got a real chance
To find myself a real man
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
Bet if they could see the real you
They probably woulda left too
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
I ain’t ever felt this free
Now that you’re not next to me
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you
I ain’t ever felt this free
Now that you’re not next to me
I finally got a real chance
To find myself a real man
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do
Never got to break up with you




Never got to break up with you
So glad I broke up with you
