The Way a Heart Breaks

Hazel eyes looking right through me
Like you’re staring at a ghost
There’s no point sitting through the movie
When I know where it goes

So I try, try, try
But I can’t change your mind
You don’t have to say a thing
Cuz the silence says goodbye

This is the way a heart breaks
You’re laying by me
But sleeping so far away
Feels like I’m looking at a stranger’s face
Oh god, this is the way that it breaks
You’re slowly slipping away
You call me baby, now you call me by name
You say, maybe we should take some space
Oh god, this is the way that it breaks
This is the way a heart breaks

It’ll hurt more, honestly
If you’re going through the motions
Give me something, anything
I’ll talk a tiny spark or an explosion

And I try, try, try
But I can’t change your mind
You don’t have to say a thing
Cuz the silence says goodbye

This is the way a heart breaks
You’re laying by me
But sleeping so far away
Feels like I’m looking at a stranger’s face
Oh god, this is the way that it breaks
You’re slowly slipping away
You call me baby, now you call me by name
You say, maybe we should take some space
Oh god, this is the way that it breaks
This is the way a heart breaks
