A perfect silhouette walks out the door
Despair leaks through and lingers on the floor
This wasn't what you had in mind
But you realize now it happens all the time
Your house now smells of lonlieness and cigarettes
At the bottom of your bottle lies regret
Why would you let her go?
Don't you know that lies keep relationships afloat?
Oh and he's sick of trying
And she's sick of lying
And they both know they're better off alone
So why's she in his bedroom at half past twelve
You can't forget
You can't delete each other's numbers from your phone
The morning after's quite the place to go
With echoes of the night that was before
He tells you he hates you
But he knows he can't replace you
And the trouble is, you're in the same boat
Toxic's the new normal, just pretend
That your boyfriend doesn't keep you from your friends
Oh but he's not the issue, it's on you
You can't resist the urge to wallow in your self pity and alcohol
Oh and he's sick of trying
And she's sick of lying
And they both know they're better off alone
So why's she in his bedroom at half past twelve
You can't forget
You can't delete each other's numbers from your phone
Oh it's all a Modern Romance
It's all a Modern Romance
It's all a Modern Romance
Can't you see?
See that it's all a Modern Romance
It's all a Modern Romance
It's all a Modern Romance
Can't you see?
See that he's sick of trying
And she's sick of lying
And they both know they're better off alone
So why's she in his bedroom at half past twelve
You can't forget
You can't delete each other's numbers from your phone
Because you're better off alone
Yeah you're better off alone
I said you're better off alone
Yeah you're better off alone
