I’m not saying there needs to be ground rules
But some basic kindness does apply
Breakups are never fun to go through
And there’s no reason to spin any lies

You tend to like to find an upper hand
That’s part of the problem we’ve had
You need to let everything calmly wind down
Without spinning any stories around

We both agree that it’s best to break up
But you seem to like to spread news around
This can be easy or it can be tough
Please don’t victimize me with your mouth
If you think you’re gonna make me a victim
Then I’m telling you to think again
It’ll be you who deeply feels the burn
Because that’s the kind of victim I am

I’m glad to shake hands and just move on
With a mutual promise to be respectful
I’m sure there’s things we both can learn
Which is what makes any breakup successful

We need to let people just assume the truth
That there’s ways we both were at fault
Anything other than that is dishonest news
And I’m telling you that you’ll get caught

We both agree that it’s best to break up
But you seem to like to spread news around
This can be easy or it can be tough
Please don’t victimize me with your mouth
If you think you’re gonna make me a victim
Then I’m telling you to think again
It’ll be you who deeply feels the burn
Because that’s the kind of victim I am

You need to spend time looking to the future
And I’d like to try and keep our mutual friends
But if you decide to take the low road
You’ll find out the kind of victim I am

We both agree that it’s best to break up
But you seem to like to spread news around
This can be easy or it can be tough
Please don’t victimize me with your mouth
If you think you’re gonna make me a victim
Then I’m telling you to think again
It’ll be you who deeply feels the burn
Because that’s the kind of victim I am
