Just 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 tellin' lies, feelin' sorry when she cries

Now that the strings aren't attached, you'll catch on, we've done our part



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

Begs you to stop at the door just before she comes apart



Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart



Now, we've made a trail of tears for her to follow

And we've thought of every line that she might swallow



And with lesson four, there will 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



I know, I know, I know...



It's time to break your heart
