[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
