Years go by, the singers change   Same old story but the words get rearranged   Somebody loves someone, somebody left someone   Somebody swears it wasn't supposed to end this way      People dance to summertime   Happy songs with happy rhymes   The melodies make you wanna drive and sing along   And singers talk about growing up   The first kiss and being in love   But nothing hits as close to home as the break up song      Violins and I love you   If the slightly miss their mark they ring untrue   But something 'bout goodbye making someone cry   Sounds to me more like what real people do      People dance to summertime   Happy songs with happy rhymes   The melodies make you wanna drive and sing along   And singers talk about growing up   The first kiss and being in love   But nothing hits as close to home as the break up song      Singers talk about growing up   The first kiss and being in love   But nothing hits as close to home as the break up song      We need to talk, this ain't working out   Can we still be friends, I found someone else   I need some space, this just feels wrong   Everybody's lived the breakup song
