Cut ties and run like hell I'll give it a summer to end up Not so well, oh well It shows what you know When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so You, you say "he's one of a kind" And I, I say he's just buying your time He's not cut clean, Like you see in your dreams And he's not Upfront like you want him to be He says he's "dumbstruck" But he's trying his luck And his touch has got you All but falling in love Give it up, give a rest And don't you give it your best He'll leave you, left for dead Just like he's done with the rest And just how many times will you put your heart out on the line? Cause I'm telling you for the last time Cut ties and run like hell I'll give it a summer to end up Not so well, oh well It shows what you know When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so Dress up like he's ready to kill On a night pick you up To "take his girl for a thrill" Oh surprise! You deny The plain and simple in sight How goodnight means goodbye Forever leaving your tongue left Tied up in knots And running deep in your thoughts Not a loss, what you sought The simple lesson is taught Giving up, what a mess Too bad you gave it your best And he left like I said Just like he's done with the rest And just how many times will you put your heart out on the line? Cause I'm telling you you're not alright Cut ties and run like hell I'll give it a summer to end up Not so well, oh well It shows what you know When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so Cut ties and run like hell I wish you were better off Out with someone else Oh well you know how it goes When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so I told you so I told you so I told you so I told you so Cut ties and run like hell I'll give it a summer to end up Not so well, oh well It shows what you know When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so Cut ties and run like hell I'll give it a summer to end up Not so well, oh well It shows what you know When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so Cut ties and run like hell I wish you were better off Out with someone else Oh well you know how it goes When he breaks your heart I'll say I told you so
