Let me say first, I had so much love to give
Even my worst days, I still made time for it, mm-mm
Started out sweet enough
I think it sugar-coated my look on us
Well, I swear to God, I thought we were everything
(Everything)

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

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?

Peace-keeping, backwards speaking
I've tried it all, tried it all
But your words sting like a lime drenched in alcohol

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

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?

You let the love get so sour
You let the love get so sour

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

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?

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
