lyrics

You can’t throw a word at me like that Say you don’t mean it, take it back
You lit a fire in this room

We once stood on solid ground
The house we built is burning down
And it all feels like it’s too soon

I never saw it coming but then again I never do

How many times can a heart break?
You can pick up all the pieces of an honest mistake
But what happens when it’s taken all that it can take
How many times can a heart break?

We try to separate our lives
From favorite shirts to kitchen knives
Some things we just throw away

What was once so intertwined
Is packed in boxes yours and mine
And we’ve run out of things to say

I never saw it coming but then again I never do

How many times can a heart break?
You can pick up all the pieces of an honest mistake
But what happens when it’s taken all that it can take
How many times can a heart break?

Is this how it goes and am I prepared
To love again even though I’m still in repair

How many times can a heart break?
You can pick up all the pieces of an honest mistake
But what happens when it’s taken all that it can take
How many times can a heart break?
