lyrics

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh

There's a fine line 'tween I'm wrong and you're right
That line being that I'm saying goodbye
'cause I'm sick of being the one to always take the blame
(Take the blame) Take the blame.

Waking up to hear that ringtone again,
The one you made me set way back when.
I answer the phone to hear you slurring and mumbling,
Asking me to pick you up, you're swaying and fumbling.
I drove all night to drop your drunk ass home
And you were bragging about the number in your phone.

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh

There's a fine line 'tween I'm wrong and you're right
That line being that I'm saying goodbye
'cause I'm sick of being the one to always take the blame
(Take the blame) Take the blame.

Your phone buzzes with words I'll never see
I blow it off and blame myself for jealousy.
Until that night I saw you two on the street,
I didn't know what to do, so all I did was retreat.
I drove all night to drop your stuff off at home.
Deleting your number from my phone.

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Some funky instrumental stuff]

Just take it all- take it all back.

[More funky instrumental stuff]

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh
