The Way We Make a Broken Heart Lyrics
Just a one more kiss, he'll have to miss this night with you
Now, you're guilty of this secret love as I am too
You'll get used to telling lies and feeling sorry when he cries
Now, that the strings are attachedHe'll catch on, we've done our part
'Cause this is the way we make a broken heartLesson number one, we've just begun to hurt him so
And with lesson two, he'll long for you when lights are low
Then we get to lesson three where he gets down on his knees
And begs you to stop at the doorJust before he comes apart
And this is the way we make a broken heartNow we've laid a trail of tears for him to follow
And we've thought of every line that he might swallow
And with lesson four, there'll be no more for him to bear
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affairThen he'll find somebody new and she will hurt him too
'Cause there must be millions just like you and me practiced in the artThis is the way we make a broken heart
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart
This is the way we make a broken heart
