Modern Romance Lyrics

A perfect silhouette walks out the door

Despair leaks through and lingers on the floor

This wasn't what you had in mind

But you realize now it happens all the time

Your house now smells of loneliness and cigarettes

At the bottom of your bottle lies regret

Why would you let her go?

Don't you know that lies keep relationships afloat?

Oh and he's sick of trying

And she's sick of lying

And they both know they're better off alone

So why's she in his bedroom at half past twelve

You can't forget

You can't delete each other's numbers from your phone

The morning after's quite the place to go

With echoes of the night that was before

He tells you he hates you

But he knows he can't replace you

And the trouble is, you're in the same boat

Toxic's the new normal, just pretend

That your boyfriend doesn't keep you from your friends

Oh but he's not the issue, it's on you

You can't resist the urge to wallow in your self pity and alcohol

Oh and he's sick of trying

And she's sick of lying

And they both know they're better off alone

So why's she in his bedroom at half past twelve

You can't forget

You can't delete each other's numbers from your phone

Oh it's all a Modern Romance

It's all a Modern Romance

It's all a Modern Romance

Can't you see?

See that it's all a Modern Romance

It's all a Modern Romance

It's all a Modern Romance

Can't you see?

See that he's sick of trying

And she's sick of lying

And they both know they're better off alone

So why's she in his bedroom at half past twelve

You can't forget

You can't delete each other's numbers from your phone

Because you're better off alone

Yeah you're better off alone

I said you're better off alone

Yeah you're better off alone
