Break Up
Murs Lyrics

I wanna hear your voice but I don't want you to call
I miss you, but I don't want to give in to the temptation of talking to you.

I wanna see you, girl, but not see you at all
I have mixed feelings about seeing you - I miss you, but I also feel hurt and upset.

I wanna make up, but I still want to fight
I want to reconcile, but I'm still angry and defensive about our issues.

I wanted to break up but it just don't feel right
I thought breaking up would be the best choice, but it doesn't feel like the right decision now that we're apart.

"Sitting here waiting on you"
I'm feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward without you.

I hate you, you hate me, but still can't escape "we"
We have a lot of negative feelings towards each other, but we also have a shared history and connection that's hard to shake.

And all the bullshit we've been going through lately
Our relationship has been tumultuous and full of problems recently.

Heart broke, lovestruck
I'm feeling both heartbroken and still in love with you at the same time.

Telling y'all, "It ain't me."
I'm trying to distance myself from the blame for our relationship problems.

Life without you, girl, is something that I can't see
I'm struggling to envision a life without you in it.

I ain't gon' lie, say, "I don't get lonely"
I can't deny that I feel lonely without you.

But there's only so much, I could kick it with the homies
Spending time with my friends can only do so much to ease the loneliness.

And somebody told me that you already moved on
I heard from someone else that you're already seeing someone new.

I broke up with you, you ain't supposed to get your groove on
I ended the relationship, so it feels unfair that you've already moved on.

Not now, at least wait a couple weeks
I wish you had waited a little longer before dating someone else.

Got me looking like a chump with my business in the streets
I feel embarrassed and exposed because everyone knows about our relationship issues.

Been a couple weeks, but it feel like you still there
Even though we're broken up, I still feel like you're a big part of my life.

No matter how I clean, I'm still finding your hair
I keep finding reminders of you around the house, even though I've tried to move on.

Or some shit you forgot, or I'm standing in that spot
I keep encountering things that remind me of you and our past together.

Where you came so hard, I didn't think that you would stop
I remember our intimate moments together and I miss them.

But, quiet as it's kept, I know you miss me just a little
Despite our problems, I believe you still have feelings for me.

Washed my sheets when you left but still smell you on my pillow
I feel your absence even though I've tried to move on.

And everything I do, it reminds me of you
I can't escape memories of our relationship, even in my day-to-day activities.

And every time I lust, it reminds me of us
Even my sexual desires are tied to memories of our past together.

Girl, I wanna stay together cause I hate breaking up
I still want to be with you because I hate the pain of ending the relationship.

You ain't call me last night, what you trying to be? Strong?
I'm wondering why you haven't contacted me and if you're trying to prove a point.

You'll call yourself stupid when you finally hear this song
You'll regret not reaching out to me when you hear this song and realize how much I still care about you.

Cause I would've took you back, I was waiting to, in fact
I'm still open to reconciling with you and was waiting for you to make the first move.

All you had to do was holler, girl, I would've just collapsed
I would have gladly taken you back if you had reached out to me.

And fell into a trap and started to relapse
I know that getting back together could lead to repeating our same relationship problems.

And your ass never called so it just never happened
Because you didn't reach out, nothing between us changed and we remained broken up.

Now I'm thinking Jasmine, Tanya, Cheraine
I'm considering reaching out to other ex-girlfriends to help me move on from our relationship.

Some ex's I can call that'll probably ease the pain
Talking to other ex-girlfriends might help me feel less lonely and heartbroken.

I tried to follow through, but I wound up calling you
I tried to distract myself by talking to other people, but I ended up wanting to talk to you instead.

Hanging up before a ring, girl, it's really all on you
I'm waiting for you to make the first move and start the conversation, so I hang up before actually calling you.

But you wanna get into it, make me mad, push my buttons
Our discussions always seem to turn into fights where we upset each other.

Got us tripping over little stuff that don't mean nothing
Our arguments are often over small things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I'm sick of the suffering, the fighting, the fussing
I'm tired of being unhappy and constantly arguing with you.

What happened to the love in the late night discussions
I miss the intimate moments when we used to talk about our future together.

'Bout children, and family, the future, the plan
We used to talk about our future together and what we wanted in life.

And now it's all over cause you couldn't understand me
Our relationship ended because we couldn't communicate effectively, and you didn't understand me.

You say you're sick of me and I say I'm sick of you
We're both tired of each other and our relationship problems.

But we crazy 'bout each other, girl, what we gon' do?
Despite our frustrations with each other, we still have strong feelings and connections.

Said I needed you to leave, but I hate to see you go
I thought it would be best for us to break up, but it's still hard to let you go.

Can't make up my mind, girl, I just don't know
I'm indecisive and uncertain about what I want in our relationship.

I wanna make this work but I'm sick of the struggle
I want to fix our relationship, but I'm tired of fighting and dealing with the same issues.

Girl, what I gotta do to make you realize I love you?
I need to prove to you that I still love and care about you.

I ain't gon' lie, sometimes I just don't feel you
I have moments where I don't feel a strong connection to you and our relationship.

But find another man, and I just might kill you
I still care about you so much that I'd be upset to see you with someone else.
