Standing at your front door waiting
Holding up my white flag waving
Cause I know the words before you say em
Memorized the conversation

You’re the war that I keep on fighting
The high that I can’t come down
The hill that I keep on climbing
It always comes back around

Ooh
This heartbreak is habitual
Now losing you is a ritual
Ooh
It’s not love if it’s conditional
Now losing you is a ritual

Spell it out in lowercase
I’m too afraid to overstate it’s you
And all my time with you is wasted
There’s a rhythm I keep chasing

You’re the song that I keep on writing
The star that I can’t pull down
The end that I keep on finding
That always comes back around

Ooh
This heartbreak is habitual
Now losing you is a ritual
Ooh
It’s not love if it’s conditional
Now losing you is a ritual

I got a real bad itch for a good fight
Got a well worn groove in the back of my mind
I’m gonna figure you out this time
I’m gonna figure out this time
Got a real bad itch for a good fight
Got a well worn groove in the back of my mind
I’m gonna figure you out this time
I’m gonna figure out tonight

Ooh
This heartbreak is habitual
Now losing you is a ritual
Ooh
It’s not love if it’s conditional
Now losing you is a ritual
