Rules

Mother taught me not to give too much away
Father taught me tender hearts are bound to break
And now I'm just confused
'Cause they broke all the rules
Said one thing, they did the other
Now I'm good at friends but I'm bad at lovers
Oh, oh, there I go giving my heart away
Thought it would heal the pain
Oh, oh, there I go making the same mistakes
Don't wanna start again
The rules of, rules of love
Keep changing, keep swaying
The rules of, rules of love
Keep changing, keep swaying
In different directions, keep giving me lessons
All I ever really learn
The rules of, rules of love
Sometimes people break 'em
They taught me to get jealous, taught me how to fight
Taught me to pretend like everything’s alright
Said one thing, they did the other
Now I'm good at friends but I'm bad at lovers
Oh, oh, there I go giving my heart away
Thought it would heal the pain
Oh, oh, there I go making the same mistakes
Don’t wanna start again
The rules of, rules of love
Keep changing, keep swaying
The rules of, rules of love
Keep changing, keep swaying
In different directions, keep giving me lessons
All I ever really learn
The rules of, rules of love
Why is it all so complicated?
Won't somebody please explain it
Said one thing but did the other
Now I'm good at friends but I'm bad at lovers
The rules of, rules of love
Keep changing, keep swaying
The rules of, rules of love
Keep changing, keep swaying
In different directions, keep giving me lessons
All I ever really learn
The rules of, rules of love
Sometimes people break 'em
Sometimes people break 'em
'Cause they said one thing and did the other
Now I'm good at friends but bad at lovers
I'm bad at lovers
