DON'T WANNA BREAK UP AGAIN (LYRICS) - Ariana Grande

[Intro]

Mm

[Verse 1]

I fall asleep cryin'

You turn up the TV

You don't wanna hear me

One more sleepless night

Big day in the morning

So, I take my time to self-soothe

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm too much for you

So I really gotta do

The thing I don't wanna do

No, I don't, don't, don't, don't

[Chorus]

I don't wanna fuck with your head

It's breakin' my heart

To keep breakin' yours again (Yours again, yours again, yours again)

This situationship has to end

But I just can't refuse

I don't wanna break up again (Up again, up again, up again), baby

[Verse 2]

I made it so easy

Spent so much on therapy

Blamed my own codependency

But you didn't even try

When you finally did, it was at the wrong time

Won't abandon me again for you and I, I

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm too much for you

So I really gotta do

The thing I don't wanna do

No, I don't, don't, don't, don't

[Chorus]

I don't wanna fuck with your head

It's breakin' my heart (Breakin' my heart)

To keep breakin' yours again (Yours again, yours again, yours again)

This situationship has to end

But I just can't refuse

I don't wanna break up again (Up again, up again, up again)

[Bridge]

We both know it's time

So we say goodbye

Just one kiss goodbye

With tears in our eyes

Hope you won't, won't regret me

Hope you'll still think fondly of our little life

[Chorus]

I don't wanna fuck with your head

It's breakin' my heart (Breakin' my heart)

To keep breakin' yours again (Yours again, yours again, yours again)

This situationship has to end

But I just can't refuse

I don't wanna break up again (Up again, up again, up again), baby

[Outro]

(Hah, hah, hah)

(Hah, hah, hah)

Don't wanna break up again (Breakin' my heart)

I don't wanna, baby

Situationship has to end (Know it has to end)

Just can't refuse

Ooh
