Ground Rules Lyrics by Tiri

2023

[Verse 1]
I heard you got some new tattoos
I met your mom last week at the mall
She said you’d moved
(she said you'd moved)
Felt my heart freeze and turn blue
Cold in my chest now you’ve left and gone
And we both knew
(we both knew)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A lifetime's worth of conversations
Family trips out to the Hamptons
Just like that don’t know what’s even real
[Chorus]
I should have set ground rules
Hung them up in my bedroom
Posted notes on my fridge too
(posted notes on my fridge too)
Cuz it takes me a second
To break what I ́ve just bent
Leave wounds that I can't mend
(can't mend)
I could have would have should have set ground rules
I could have would have should have set ground rules
I could have would have should have
[Verse 2]
Wish you’d call me drunk sometimes too
And list all the reasons I was wrong
Like I do you
But I guess that two things can be true
You were good for me but all along
I was bad for you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I ́d rather have our love erased than
Wait to see my new replacement
Knowing she's got tiny shoes to fill
[Chorus]
I should have set ground rules
Hung them up in my bedroom
Posted notes on my fridge too
(posted notes on my fridge too)
Cuz it takes me a second
To break what I ́ve just bent
Leave wounds that I can't mend
(can't mend)
[Bridge]
See it now in a brand new light
Half all the fault was mine
Always takes two to fight
Blamed you for all the bad
Point a point finger at you
But three point back
I got a lot left to unpack
[Chorus]
I should have set ground rules
Hung them up in my bedroom
Posted notes on my fridge too
(posted notes on my fridge too)
Cuz it takes me a second
To break what I ́ve just bent
Leave wounds that I can't mend
(can't mend)
