So it's gonna be foreverOr it's gonna go down in flames
relationship will either be perfect or nothing at all
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
the perfect storm goes to say her drama is apart of her attractiveness
Got a long list of ex-lovers
been with a lot of people in the past
'Cause you know I love the playersAnd you love the game

So it's gonna be foreverOr it's gonna go down in flames
going to last or end badly
I'm dying to see how this one ends
seeing if it will be like all her past relationships or will it be different
Ain't it funny rumors fly

I can read you like a magazine
easily read their emotions, body language
You look like my next mistake

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you and I"

She has caught him cheating and confronts him. Trying to be communicative.
So it goes
the beginning to an end
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
style being a recurring trend, the relationship is also a recurring trend
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
shows that their relationship is often rough and maybe even toxic
You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt
pairing of description of one another, shows that they are perfect together
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
they never get tired of each other maybe
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
Even after bad moments they always come back stronger
