Hey 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
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
Different this time
That's like saying drunk girls don't cry
La de de de da
La de de de da, yeh
Hey na na na na

You say he saw the light, the slate is clean

The song "Drunk Girls Don't Cry" by Maren Morris is about a woman who keeps going back to a man who repeatedly mistreats her. The chorus of the song compares the woman's belief that the man will change to the idea that drunk girls don't cry. Morris is expressing the idea that the woman is in denial and needs to face the reality of the situation. The lyrics urge the woman to "clean house" and throw the man out for good.
The opening lines of the song use a simple and catchy melody to grab the listener's attention. Morris then sets up the metaphor for the rest of the song - comparing taking out the trash to getting rid of a bad relationship. The chorus is simple and repetitive, driving home the theme of the song with the memorable line "That's like saying drunk girls don't cry." In the second verse, Morris sarcastically repeats the man's excuses before bringing back the chorus and adding a bridge that emphasizes the idea that the woman needs to move on.

What you do with trash? You take it out
Get rid of toxic people in your life just like you do with trash
So why are you letting him hang around?
Questioning why let someone toxic stick around
Girl, you gotta know when to clean house
Realize when it's time to get rid of people or things in your life
And throw his shit out in the yard
Get rid of their stuff too, no need to keep memories of someone who's not worth your time
If it was the first time, I would understand
Mistakes happen, but repeated mistakes show a different story
But it's the third time, you got a second chance
Giving someone a second chance is okay, but multiple second chances prove that they don't deserve them
There's a fine line between an accident
Knowing the difference between an accidental action and a repeated mistake
And an L-O-S-E-R
Identifying someone as a loser
It's bullshit, you know it
Acknowledging that excuses are lies that a person tells themselves to ignore the truth
Yeah, I see it in your eyes
Recognizing the signs of someone who knows they're not telling the truth
Every time that you tell me
Listening to someone repeatedly justify toxic behavior
Deep down he's a really good guy
Believing someone has good intentions despite constant evidence to the contrary

Comparing two things that don't make sense together
Drunk girls don't cry

Girl, you must be outta your damn mind

Another weekend, another box of wine
Essentially saying there's nothing new, every weekend is the same
I heard it so much I got it memorized

If you think he's the one then you must be blind
Believing that someone toxic is the one for you requires willful ignorance and a lack of self-worth
Or C-R-A-Z-Y
Stating that anyone who still thinks a toxic person is the one for them must be crazy
I wish I had a dime for
Expressing the amount of times someone has made an excuse for toxic behavior
C'mon, it's bullshit, you know it
Encouraging someone to know the truth about their situation
That's like saying
Comparing a nonsensical statement to another nonsensical statement
