The Way We Make a Broken Heart

Just a one more kiss

He'll have to miss

This night with you

Now you're guilty of this secret love as I am too

You'll get used to telling lies

And feeling sorry when he cries

Now that the strings are attached

He'll catch on, we've done our part

'Cause this is the way we make a broken heart

Lesson number one

We've just begun

To hurt him so

And with lesson two

He'll long for you

When lights are low

Then we get to lesson three

Where he gets down on his knees

And begs you to stop at the door

Just before he comes apart

And this is the way we make a broken heart

Now we've layed a trail of tears

For him to follow

And we've thought of every line

That he might swallow

And with lesson four

There'll be no more

For him to bear

And on some dark night

We'll dim the lights

On this affair

Then he'll find somebody new

And she will hurt him too

'Cause there must be millions just like you and me

Practiced in the art

This is the way we make a broken heart

Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart

This is the way we make a broken heart
