Na na na na

Hey na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
What you do with trash? You take it out
Girl, you gotta know when to clean house
And throw his shit out in the yard
If it was the first time, I would understand
But it's the third time, you got a second chance
There's a fine line between an accident
And an L-O-S-E-R
It's bullshit, you know it
Yeah, I see it in your eyes
Every time that you tell me
Deep down he's a really good guy
That's like saying
Drunk girls don't cry
Girl, you must be outta your damn mind
You say he saw the light, the slate is clean
He swears up and down that it's gonna be
Different this time
That's like saying drunk girls don't cry
La de de de da

Another weekend, another box of wine
I heard it so much I got it memorized
If you think he's the one then you must be blind
Or C-R-A-Z-Y
C'mon, it's bullshit, you know it
I wish I had a dime for
Every time that you tell me
Deep down he's a really good guy
That's like saying
Drunk girls don't cry
Girl, you must be outta your damn mind
You say he saw the light, the slate is clean
He swears up and down that it's gonna be

The lyrics of Maren Morris's song "Drunk Girls Don't Cry" talk about a girl who keeps going back to a guy who has repeatedly proven himself to be unreliable and untrustworthy. The song tries to convince her to let go of the relationship because it is not healthy for her. The opening lines talk about the need to take out the trash, but then the question is asked why she is allowing him to hang around. The chorus compares her belief in his goodness despite his actions to saying that drunk girls don't cry, implying that it is equally absurd to believe both statements.
The verses describe how the guy has had multiple chances to prove that he has changed but has repeatedly failed. The girl keeps defending him, saying that he is a really good guy deep down. However, the singer points out that this is just a way for her to avoid facing the truth about the situation. She also implies that the girl must be either blind or crazy to still believe in him.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about not staying in a toxic relationship and how sometimes it takes someone from the outside to see things clearly. It shows that the truth can be hard to face, but it is necessary for moving on and finding a healthier, happier relationship.

What you do with trash? You take it out So why are you letting him hang around? Girl, you gotta know when to clean house And throw his shit out in the yard
If someone or something is garbage, get rid of them/it. Recognize the right time to remove and permanently ditch any man-child that's taking residence in your life.
If it was the first time, I would understand But it's the third time, you got a second chance There's a fine line between an accident And an L-O-S-E-R
Giving someone a second chance after they've messed up and didn't improve is unwise. One or two surprises might be understandable, but a pattern of failure is a signal to move on.
It's bullshit, you know it Yeah, I see it in your eyes Every time that you tell me Deep down he's a really good guy That's like saying Drunk girls don't cry Girl, you must be outta your damn mind
Don't try to rationalize bad behavior. Admit that associating oneself with someone who is usually negative may only lead to pain and suffering. Believing in the impossible is like saying that a drunk person doesn't cry - it's ridiculous.
You say he saw the light, the slate is clean He swears up and down that it's gonna be Different this time That's like saying drunk girls don't cry
Believing that a toxic person has genuinely changed and will never repeat mistakes of the past is naive. Such a proposition is as ridiculous as claiming that drunk girls don't cry.
Another weekend, another box of wine I heard it so much I got it memorized If you think he's the one then you must be blind Or C-R-A-Z-Y
Your repeated confession of your struggles is not changing your situation, at the end of the day it's just another box of wine. Penetrating this so-called “good guy aura” is important to see things as they are, and not as one would want them to be. Consistently allowing oneself to believe in delusions and fantasy is not sanity, but in fact an insane thing to do.
C'mon, it's bullshit, you know it I wish I had a dime for Every time that you tell me Deep down he's a really good guy That's like saying Drunk girls don't cry
Don't delude yourself with comforting illusions that make you feel good for a moment. If only she could have some extra cash for every time someone said he was 'a great guy deep down'; as this is as silly as saying that drunk girls don't cry.

What you do with trash? You take it out
So why are you letting him hang around?
Girl, you gotta know when to clean house
And throw his shit out in the yard
