How did we make a fight over who wanted who most? How did you make a castle out of just a bed post? How do I make you smile, haven't seen your lips in ages. How do I make you smile, how do I make you smile, How do I make a smile now ?
You break a heart to earn it. You break mine.
How did you meet?
He was a chemical reaction.
How did we make the sun but never turn the light on? How did you make the ocean out of just a bath drawn? How do I say goodbye, haven't seen you here in ages. How do I say goodbye, how do I say goodbye, how do I say goodbye now?
You break a heart to earn it. You break mine.
It breaks, you paint the surface. Like you've never hurt it. The feel is real and worth it, they claim.
How you gonna hold yourself now? Hold yourself proud.
How did it end?
A million miles and words and pages.
What did you take?
A magic drink to try erase it.
Down by the lake where you were wise enough to burn it, is where you learned you got to break a heart to earn it.
