Just So You Can Break My Heart

(album: Carroll County Sessions - 2022)

Why do you tell me that you love me
Just so you can break my heart?
Why do you stop my bleeding
When you're the one who gives me these scars?
'Cause everytime I let you back in
It's the same damn thing all over again
Why do you tell me that you love me
Just so you can break my heart?

Is it because you're still not over him
Or maybe you just needed someone or something new
And then you second guessed it
Or is it 'cause I made you feel some type of way
But not enough or too much
What can I do to get you to stay?

Why do you tell me that you love me
Just so you can break my heart?
Why do you stop my bleeding
When you're the one who gives me these scars?
'Cause everytime I let you back in
It's the same damn thing all over again
Why do you tell me that you love me
Just so you can break my heart?

And my momma said, "Son, you know I'll always love you
I just wish you wouldn't use such harsh words in your songs"
And I said, "Mama, if the world's a massive war
Then why the hell do I feel so fucking cold?"

Why does she tell me that she loves me
Just so she can break my heart?
Why does she stop my bleeding
When she's the one who gives me these scars
'Cause everytime I let her back in
It's the same damn thing all over again
Why does she tell me that she loves me
Just so she can break my heart
Why do you tell me that you love me
Just so you can break my heart
