[Verse 1]
Didn't say a word driving home in the cab at night
Suddenly the world turned from color into black and white
Said I'll see you later never thinking it would mean goodbye
I thought it was just another fight
No one said it's supposed to be easy

[Chorus]
But I'm trying to be a man about it
Breaking up was necessary
When the pain gets heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary
Maybe one day we'll laugh about it
Even though we're still not ready
When the pain get's heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary

[Verse 2]
How'd you go from being everything to being goes so fast
Even now I'm looking for the answers in the aftermath
There's a rumor when I wake up and I think I'll have you back
But, I know that the moments are gonna last
No one said it's supposed to be easy

[Chorus]
But I'm trying to be a man about it
Breaking up was necessary
When the pain gets heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary
Maybe one day we'll laugh about it
Even though we're still not ready
When the pain get's heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary
[Bridge]
Oooh, temporary
Oooh, oh-woah
Oooh
Telling myself it's temporary
Oooh, temporary
Oooh, oh-woah
Oooh (I know it's not supposed to be easy)

[Chorus]
So I'm trying to be a man about it
Breaking up was necessary
When the pain gets heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary
Maybe one day we'll laugh about it
Even though we're still not ready
When the pain get's heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary
When the pain get's heavy
I keep telling myself it's temporary

[Outro]
If you hardly liked me
Just keep telling yourself
