And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

Pin feathers, dusty old wings
Living all my crazy never-land dreams
And I feel her trying when we're apart

And I feel like dying
God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart

And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

And how she loves me, I don't understand
And if time won't change me, perhaps she can
And I feel her trying when we're apart
And I feel like dying

God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart

My selfish anger and I just run away
But a perfect heart always makes me stay

God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart

And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
