Time to Break Up Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I guess it's only the men who get fucked now and again
We take our chicks to the mall, we wait in parking stalls, and
When we come home too late, she's pissed that she had to wait
And my excuse not to call, it never worked at all

[Chorus]
Time to wake up, where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up, she was stronger
All my friends say, "Please don't love her"
What did I gain? Now I miss her so

[Verse 2]
I used to hate the lipstick, it stained and tasted so sick
The pantyhose and the bras, she threw on my guitars
Shit, fuck! I made a mistake, I thought I needed a break
The truth is I'm such a dick, it's broke and can't be fixed


[Chorus]
Time to wake up, where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up, she was stronger
All my friends say, "Please don't love her"
What did I gain? Now I miss her so
[Bridge]
If you want to call it a heartache
Then I shouldn't regret those things, I miss her
If you want the pain to go away
Better suck up your pride and admit you lost her
Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go


[Chorus]
Time to wake up, where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up, she was stronger
All my friends say, "Please don't love her"
What did I gain? Now I miss her so

[Outro]
Move on, let her go, move on
Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

In the official program for the band’s 2001 TOYPAJ tour, Tom wrote:

Guys can never please girls. They are two species that will never see eye to eye. My friend Blair, he’s standing in line for Enema, and broke up with this chick and freaked out. He second guessed everything. He realized that maybe he shouldn’t have broken up with her. Well, a lot of people do that. When you’re with someone, the grass is always greener. Then when you part, you start to miss all the cool things that only you can share. You better be damn sure when you leave somebody, you might not get them back when you come to your senses.
