       A
I see you’re doing well, well, I'm not,
            F#m
got someone new in your life, well, I don’t,
E                                    D
I’ve been busy wanting you back and you’ve
been busy moving on way too fast.

Guess my heart's takin' the long way out
It don't even know what to do
And seein' you with him tonight
I guess I don't break like you

Chorus:
          A
I don’t drink like you do, I can’t just have one
                  F#m
'cause I'm still drinking ‘bout us,
so I’ll probably get drunk,
              E
wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night
          D
like you do, like goodbye ain’t even
crossing your mind.
A                                         F#m
Maybe you’re just good at getting gone or I’m
just really bad at moving on,
              E                                 D
I'm still in love, girl, it’s true, what can I say?
                                A
I hate that I don’t break like you do.

I wish I could just smile, say hello
Show you I'm doin' fine, but I won't
'Cause I can't fake it through
Damnit, I don't break like you

Chorus:
I don't drink like you do, I can't just have one
'Cause I'm still drinkin' 'bout us,
so I'll probably get drunk
Wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night
Like you do, like goodbye ain't even crossin'
your mind
Maybe you're just good at gettin' gone
Or I'm just really bad at movin' on?
I'm still in love, girl, it's true
What can I say?
I hate that I don't break like you do, oh

           A
I don’t drink like you do, I can’t just have one,
              F#m
so, I’ll just sit right here, keep drinking
‘bout us,
   E                                     D
I wish I could laugh, wish I could dance,
but, baby, I just can’t.

Chorus:
I don't drink like you do, I can't just have one
'Cause I'm still drinkin' 'bout us,
so I'll probably get drunk
Wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night
Like you do, like goodbye ain't even
crossin' your mind
Maybe you're just good at gettin' gone
Or I'm just really bad at movin' on
I'm still in love, girl, it's true
(I'm still in love, it's true)
What can I say?
I hate that I don't break like you do

I hate that I don't break like you do
