Lyrics[]
[Intro]
High school sweethearts
If you wanna be with me
You'd better listen to me
These are the rules
Now listen up
[Verse 1]
If you think you can love me
Think again, if you will cheat
If you think I will love you back
Think again, or this'll be a trainwreck
You gotta open up your ears now
Listen close, I ain't gonna shout
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta love me till I'm tired
Or I'll light you on fire
Give me it all
Don't let me fall
This is all you gotta do
For me to take you, oh
[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart
High school sweethearts
[Post Chorus]
If you wanna be with me
You'd better listen to me
These are the rules
Now listen up
[Verse 2]
You can't ignore me
That's not who I want you to be
You need to listen when I need to talk
If you don't, the loving will stop
Could you wipe away my tears?
Always be right here?
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta love me till I'm tired
Or I'll light you on fire
Give me it all
Don't let me fall
This is all you gotta do
For me to take you, oh
[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart
High school sweethearts
[Post Chorus]
If you wanna be with me
You'd better listen to me
These are the rules
Now listen up
[Bridge]
If you can't handle a heart like mine
Don't waste your time with me
If you're not down to bleed
If you can't handle
The choking, the biting, the loving, the smothering
Till you can't handle it no more
Go home
[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart
High school sweethearts
[Post Chorus]
If you wanna be with me
You'd better listen to me
These are the rules
Now listen up
[Outro]
High school sweethearts, ooh
High school sweethearts
Now listen up
High school sweethearts, ooh
High school sweethearts, no oh
Don't waste my time
