Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess out of me
It left me caught between
Like an anchor dream I was stranded
I was stranded
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take
Well, this is it now, everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay while I wait
This is how a heart breaks
Don't you wanna go for a ride now to the other side
Feel so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
And once we were so fine, you and I
Now why you gotta make it so hard on me
Hey, it's hard on me
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away
Well this is it now, everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay while I wait
This is how a heart breaks
You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was
Never cared too much for all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of a line
You're just the same thing that I knew
Hell this is it now, everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay while I wait
This is how a heart breaks
