[Verse] Late night scrolling on a phone that never rings Waiting for a call, a message, really any fucking thing And my friends say, "She ain't coming back, let that shit die” I say, “I know,” while I'm rehearsing what I'd say if she tried Yeah, I got a whole conversation that she'll never hear 'cause I've been getting over her for half a fucking year [Pre-Hook] And everybody says one day I'll wake up won't give a fuck That's when she'll call. (...there's the rub.) [Hook] There's the rub There's the rub Soon as I don't need her that's when she'll show up Soon as her name don't hit like a drug soon as I've finally had enough soon as I forget what it was That's when she'll hit me with “Hey, what's up?” ...yeah, there's the rub. [Verse] My boys say "you're so fucking money, you don't even know it" but all I feel is broke even though I try not to show it I put my chips on the table long after she cashed out The bed still smells like her so I sleep on the couch now They say there's nothing I can do to get things on track I can only do things to make her not want to come back" [pre-hook] So I guess I just forget about her or just pretend to forget Well that sucks. (...yeah, that sucks) [Hook] There's the rub There's the rub Soon as I don't need her that's when she'll show up Soon as her name don't hit like a drug soon as I've finally had enough soon as I forget what it was That's when she'll hit me with “Hey, what's up?” ...yeah, there's the rub. [Bridge] I gotta pretend long enough to make it seem real and when I finally don't want it, you finally will that's a hell of a trick, that's one hell of a catch gotta get over you for a shot at getting you back when I give up, you show up, man that's fucked up yeah, I guess there's the rub [Hook] There's the rub There's the rub Soon as I don't need her that's when she'll show up Soon as her name don't hit like a drug soon as I've finally had enough soon as I forget what it was That's when she'll hit me with “Hey, what's up?” ...yeah, there's the rub.
