The Heartbreak Girl

(album: Breathless - 2016)

Look at you, you captivate em from across the room
Draw them closer in with every move
You got them buzzing like a neon
And there you are a silhouette inside a smoky bar
You string em up just like an old guitar
And then you play them like a sad song

And they do anything to keep you talking
And you lead them all on one drink at a time

I'm gonna sit back and watch this show unwind
Oh, a breakdowns coming it's a matter of time
The clock strikes midnight, you'll have them out on the floor
Heart on the line and love on your lips
Oh, you're knocking em down with the swing of your hips
They're falling for you, oh, I've seen this all before
Oh, they'll give anything in this world
But they just don't know, that you can't break the heartbreak girl

It's no surprise, honey I can see it in your eyes
With every double shot of 90 proof lies
You're dancing closer to the edge
Way up on this tightrope blind you're walking
You don't seem to give a damn about the fall

I'm gonna sit back and watch this show unwind
Oh, a breakdowns coming it's a matter of time
The clock strikes midnight you'll have them out on the floor
Heart on the line and love on your lips
Oh, you're knocking em down with the swing of your hips
They're falling for you, oh, I've seen this all before
Oh, they'll give anything in this world
But they just don't know that you can't break the heartbreak girl

Sugar there you go in your black dress, black dress
I'm doing what I can to make the best out of this
It took me a while to see, it's got nothing to do with me
You set em up, set em up, knock em down
Should've known better when you came around
Guess that I was hoping I would prove em wrong
You were breaking hearts all along

I'm gonna sit back and watch this show unwind
Oh, a breakdowns coming it's a matter of time
The clock strikes midnight, you'll have them out on the floor
Heart on the line and love on your lips
Oh, you're knocking em down with the swing of your hips
They're falling for you, I've seen this all before
Oh, they'll give anything in this world
But they just don't know, that you can't break the heartbreak girl

Oh, you can't break the heartbreak girl
No, you can't break the heartbreak girl
