Lyrics
Breaking
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you memorize theatrical lines that seemed to lead them in
Play the role with a good girl heart, hide the tangled webs within
Who was it that led you on, that made you want to hurt me so
Who do you want to forget, who forgot you long ago
Do you still feel him calling in the air tonight?
Do you still feel it? Seems like you've done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy, seems like you've done this before
You got breaking hearts all but down, have you done, you've done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy, where is the girl I adore?
You got breaking up all but down and I can't love a thief anymore
Do you collect the souls you've lost in the top of your dresser drawer?
Count the number of tears displaced on lonely bedroom floors?
A machine where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
only hold the memories now
of the love I though I knew
Do you still feel him calling in the air tonight?
Do you still feel it? Seems like you've done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy, seems like you've done this before
You got breaking hearts all but down, have you done this, you've done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy, where is the girl I adore?
You got breaking up all but down and I can't love a thief anymore
You make breaking hearts look so easy
You got breaking hearts all but down
You make breaking hearts look so easy, seems like you've done this before
You got breaking hearts all but down
have you done this, you've done this before
The best you could hope to be is not just a bittersweet memory
You make breaking hearts look so easy
