[Verse 1]
Let me say first, I had so much love to give
Even my worst days, I still made time for it, mmm-mmm
Started out sweet enough, I think it sugar-coated my look on us
Well, I swear to God, I thought we were everything (Everything)
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I didn't want to write an F.U. song
But your name has a bitterness on my tongue
And I'm first to admit if I did you wrong
But all I ever did was do you right
[Chorus]
Why'd I try so hard when you let the love get so sour?
Oh, I squeeze your heart like lemons on my kitchen counter
And I keep throwing sugar your way
But we never make lemonadе
So why'd I try so hard when you let the lovе get so sour?
[Verse 2]
Peace-keeping, backwards speaking
I've tried it all, tried it all
But your words sting like a lime drenched in alcohol
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I didn't want to write an F.U. song
But your name has a bitterness on my tongue
And I'm first to admit if I did you wrong
But all I ever did was do you right
[Chorus]
Why'd I try so hard when you let the love get so sour?
Oh, I squeeze your heart like lemons on my kitchen counter
And I keep throwing sugar your way
But we never make lemonade
So why'd I try so hard when you let the love get so sour?
[Post-Chorus]
You let the love get so sour
You let the love get so sour
[Bridge]
Trying to make it all feel better is only going to make me bitter
Tell me that I'm wrong 'cause all I ever did was do you right
So tell me
[Chorus]
Why'd I try so hard when you let the love get so sour?
Oh, I squeeze your heart like lemons on my kitchen counter
And I keep throwing sugar your way
But we never make lemonade
So why'd I try so hard when you let the love get so sour?
[Post-Chorus]
You let the love, you let the love
You let the love, you let the love
You let the love get so sour
You let the love get so sour
