|
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
|
