One
★ verse 1 ★
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
(out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
(too many times, too many times)
★ refrain ★
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
But my love
He doesn't love me, so i tell myself, i tell myself
★ pre-chorus ★
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And if you're undеr him, you ain't gettin' over him
★ chorus ★
I got new rulеs, i count 'em
I got new rules, i count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, i count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
★ verse 2 ★
I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backward
(nowhere to turn, no way, nowhere to turn, no)
Now i'm standin' back from it, i finally see the pattern
(i never learn, i never learn)
★ refrain ★
But my love
He doesn't love me, so i tell myself, i tell myself
I do, i do, i do
★ pre-chorus ★
One, don't pick up the phone

Two, don't let him in

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him

Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna learn it by heart (i got new rules, i count 'em)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it 'cause i (i got new, i got new)
★ pre-chorus ★
One, don't pick up the phone (yeah)
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone (alone)
Two, don't let him in (oh-ooh)

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
