The world is a marble heart
Too fragile, too broken
Left without nothing but our bags to hold on to
Yeah out in the daylight
And out of the jungle
We could have been, we should have been
What your heart couldn't handle
Feel like I need, to forget you
Runaway girl, cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!
I'm going back now
To the beginning
What you denied from the start
And now you can't go breaking my heart
And now you can't go breaking my heart
The world is a marble heart
It's bullshit and we know it
Like a flower sheltered in stone
With no chance of regrowing
Like push comes to shove
Like I'm out on your doorstep
We could have been, we should have been
With only my soul left
Feel like I need, to forget you
Runaway girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me
I'm going back now
To the beginning
What you denied from the start
And now you can't go breaking my heart
And now you can't go breaking my heart
Feel like I need, to forget you
Runaway girl, cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't
And now you can't go breaking my heart
I'm going back now
To the beginning
What you denied from the start
And now you can't go breaking my heart
And now you can't go breaking my heart
