John Hiatt - The Way We Make A Broken Heart lyrics

rate me

Just a one more kiss she'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 she cries

Now that the strings are attached

She'll catch on

We've done our part

Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart

Lesson number one we've just begun

To hurt her so

And with lesson two she'll long for you

When lights are low

And we get to lesson three

When she gets down on her knees

And begs you to stop at the door

Just before

She comes apart

This is the way we make a broken heart

BRIDGE:

Now we laid a trail of tears

For her to follow

And we've thought of every line

That she might swallow

And with lesson four there'll be no more

For her to bear

And on some dark night we'll dim the lights

On this affair

Then she'll find somebody new

And he'll likely hurt her too

'Cause there must be millions just like you and me

Practiced in the art

This is the way we make a broken heart

This is the way we make a broken heart
