[INSTRUMENTAL — soft kick, pads low] [VERSE 1 — close, flat] One a.m., her voice from Leeds Four hundred miles of thin We've done this dance for months now The pauses, the logistics She says my name like paperwork I say hers like a door closing Neither of us says the word We're both too kind for that [VERSE 2 — clipped] Then the line goes crackly Convenient, right on cue "You're breaking up," she tells me I'm not, and she knows I could fix it, move up there She could ask me to Instead we let the line Do the leaving for us [VERSE 3 — quieter] "Lost you," she says, clearly Clear as she's ever been "Lost you too," I answer Into perfect reception And that's how two good people End a good thing badly Not with a bang, not with a row With pretend silence [INSTRUMENTAL — piano alone, bass out, then everything back] [HOOK — soft, aching chant] You're breaking up (breaking up) You're breaking up Yeah, me too, love You're breaking up (breaking up) You're breaking up Yeah, me too, love [BRIDGE — voice nearly alone] My phone still gets her weather Leeds, light rain tomorrow I never switched it off Some habits you don't delete You just stop checking [FINAL HOOK — fullest] You're breaking up (breaking up) You're breaking up Yeah, me too, love You're breaking up (breaking up) You're breaking up Yeah, me too, love [OUTRO — fragments] Yeah, me too, love [INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO — pads hold, hats tick out]
