How A Heart Breaks

(album: The Resolution - 2011)

Outta sight outta mind, I was sure it was dead
But your voice is a loop on repeat in my head
It's like you knew what I'd do when you called and you said
That you never really let me go

Now it doesn't make sense why I'm back at your house
So much effort to build, am I burning it down?
Now I'm sinking in deeper, I thought I was out
Did I ever really let you go?

I can't breathe cause I'm going under
But if I leave will I always wonder?
And I'm broken up inside

I try but I can't walk away
I should go
But still I stay
I know this is a big mistake
Cause this is how a heart can break

You're like coffee so strong I forget how to blink
When you get in my veins and you change how I think
Thought I left you behind, now I'm back on the brink
Guess I never really let you go

But all isn't fair when it's love and it's war
As she puts down shield, while I pick up my sword
I'm trying to care as I'm closing the door
Guess I never really let you go
Really wish that I could let you go

I try but I can't walk away
I should go
But still I stay
I know this is a big mistake
Cause this is how a heart can break

I'm sure I'm not alone, everyone's got their vice
We all know in the morning we'll be paying the price
And though it's never worth it, it's always too nice
To just turn and walk the other way

Now I can't breathe
Cause I'm going under
But I can't leave

I try but I can't walk away
Know I should go but still I stay
I know this is a big mistake
'Cause this is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks
