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.

That look in your eye was the reason I wasn’t leavin’

The words that I had yet to say kept me standin’ still

We nervously laughed as we widened the gap that our silence

Had already filled

Sometimes a moment can change when you hold it too tightly

And I know I remember that night the way it never was

And all I needed was some guarantee that my heart would not do what it does and break us up and

Every moment that comes can be disregarded

You’ll never love someone ‘til you’re broken hearted

Wars have never been won before they started

You’ll never love someone ‘til you’re broken hearted

I think about you in that moment of truth

And I wonder if maybe my future will one day look like my past (mmm)

But I suppose that the answer is, “no”

So I’ve got to find a way back just to tell myself that

Every moment that comes can be disregarded

You’ll never love someone ‘til you’re broken hearted

Wars have never been won before they started

You’ll never love someone ‘til you’re broken hearted

And white lies all come and separate us from the cruel truth we live

And long nights go ahead and take all the time that I can give

Every moment that comes can be disregarded

You’ll never love someone ‘til you’re broken hearted

Wars have never been won before they started

You’ll never love someone ‘til you’re broken hearted

Ooohhhh, ooohhhh, ooohhh, ahhhh
