new rules (piano acoustic) (live)

talkin' in my sleep at night

makin' myself crazy

wrote it down and read it out

hopin' it would save me

my love

he makes me feel like nobody else

nobody else

but my love

he doesn't love me

so i tell myself

i tell myself

one

don't pick up the phone

you know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone

two

don't let him in

you'll have to kick him out again

three

don't be his friend

you know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning

and if you're under him

you ain't getting over him

i got new rules

i count 'em

i got new rules

i count 'em

i gotta tell them to myself

i got new rules

i count 'em

i gotta tell them to myself

i keep pushin' forwards

but he keeps pullin' me backwards

now i'm standing back from it

i finally see the pattern

but my love

he doesn't love me

so i tell myself

i tell myself

i do

i do

i do

one

don't pick up the phone

you know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone

two

don't let him in

you'll have to kick him out again

three

don't be his friend

you know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning

and if you're under him

you ain't getting over him

i got new rules

i count 'em

i got new rules

i count 'em

i gotta tell them to myself

i got new rules

i count 'em

i gotta tell them to myself

practice makes perfect

i'm still tryna' learn it by heart

eat

sleep

and breathe it

rehearse and repeat it

'cause i
