[Girl]

It's over

We shouldn't fight to stay together just to fight again

It's over

We're unhappy

We need to take a break from us to make us right again

And even though it's not gonna go any further

I swear I don't regret a second of it

And when the dust has settled

I hope we can still be friends

[Bo]

And then I said

Eat a dick!

Eat a dick!

Eat a fucking dick, like this!

Put on your dick eating gloves!

Get ready to gooble a dick up!

If you don't like this dick, sitch

Eat a dick, bitch!

[Girl]

(I think I made the right decision here)

Ok, you're angry

I can see that

But you don't need to make this harder than it has to be

I try to speak to you

But you won't listen-

[Bo]

Eat a dick!

[Girl]

Hold on, please just let me fi'

[Bo]

Eat a dick!

[Girl]

Oh my God

Honestly, are you fucking five?

I try to talk this out, and you refuse to even listen to me

I'm saying how I'm feeling

And you're saying eat a dick over and over again

Does that seem like a mature response to you?

[Bo]

No, it doesn't!

But see I think the issue is

I've got my father's temper

And I'm emotionally inarticulate

So rather than being honest and vulnerable

I did a quick switch cause I'm hurt inside

And I'm trying to hide it

So eat a dick, bitch

I thought we'd have a future together, you fucking whore

[Girl]

I didn't think you'd cry for me

I didn't think you cared

I thought you were lashing out in anger

But now I see you're scared

I'm scared, too

Maybe we can work this out

And not break up

[Bo]

Really?

[Girl]

No, lick my clit!

Lick my motherfucking clit!

You think three lousy tears

Offsets three years of shit

I deserve better that you

Get me wetter, then screw

Sorry, you're not what I need, hun

Lick this clit and leave, son
