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.
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 outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry 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
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 wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away
Yeah, 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 the line
You're just the same thing that
I knew back before the time
When I was only for you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(This is it,yeah yeah this is it)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can't take it
(Can't take it)
Can't take it
(Can't take it)
This is how a heart breaks
(Can't take it no more)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
This is how a heart breaks
I can't take it
(Can't take it)
I can't take it
(Can't take it)
I can't take it
This is how a heart breaks
Oh...
This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks
