lyrics

She had a name I’d never heard,
and a heart I’d never have.
Love is a game and I know the rules,
for everyone but her.
She was the sky, and I was the kite,
the string, the wind, the pull.
Now I'm icarus, and she is the sun
I'd circle around again.

Don’t just break my heart, my love.
Break my body and my soul.
Break my hands, so I’ll let go.
Break my mind, so I’ll forget:
How we were and what you meant.

I’m looking for you in somebody new,
but she is just not you.
The ghost of you, is all that I get,
and see, and think, and want.
Her words are fine but yours were wine,
I drank you up too fast.
drunk like a fool, I rushed into you,
and I’ve been lost ever since.

Don’t just break my heart, break my will too
So I can learn to not, need you like I do
Don’t just break my heart, break my legs too,
So I can learn not, to chase after you
Don’t just break my heart, break my arms too,
so I can learn let, go of you.
Don’t just break my heart, break my mind too,
so I can learn to forget about you.
Don’t just break my heart, break my soul too,
So I can learn to just, need you when you ...
