New Rules
[Verse 1: Macy Kate]
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
[Refrain: Macy Kate]
My love, he makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
But my love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
[Pre-Chorus: Macy Kate]
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
You're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
[Chorus: Macy Kate]
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
[Verse 2: Macy Kate]
I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, nowhere to turn)
Now I'm standin' back from it, I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
[Refrain: Macy Kate]
But my love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
I do, I do, I do
[Pre-Chorus: Macy Kate]
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
You're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
[Chorus: Macy Kate]
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
[Bridge: Macy Kate]
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna learn it by heart (I got new rules, I count 'em, I got new rules, I count 'em)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I (I got new, I got new, I got new, I got)
[Pre-Chorus: Macy Kate]
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
You're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
[Chorus: Macy Kate]
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
[Outro: Macy Kate]
I got new rules, I count 'em
