I tried to stop myself but the feeling I got
Was strong when you were gone
I tried to convince myself with excuses,
I knew that they were wrong

Why does it feel so good to hurt you?
Why does it feel so good to lie?
The other night felt right without you,
I'm scared to find out why

I never wanna tell, tell you what I've done
I can't stand to hear that I'm not the only one

Now I know what it takes to break a heart
You hold it in your hands
And you tear it apart
Now I know what it takes to break a heart
I held it in my hands
As we both fell apart

Didn't get that call from you that I get everyday
Every time that we're apart
I told myself I was paranoid
That you would never break my heart

I Couldn't stop myself from thinking
That you were with somebody else
That's not the color of your lipstick
But I kept it to myself

I never wanna tell, tell you what I've done
I can't stand to hear that I'm not the only one

Now I know what it takes to break a heart
You hold it in your hands
And you tear it apart
Now I know what it takes to break a heart
I held it in my hands
As we both fell apart

Forget I ever said I loved you
Tell yourself you never cared
Maybe it'll help
Maybe it'll stop the pain from sinking in
Cause this is gonna cut
Deeper than a knife
Breaking through the skin

Forget you ever said you loved me
I'll tell myself I never cared
I need to hear the truth
I need to hear you say that there was someone else
We know that we were wrong
I'm sick of all the lies
So now I must confess

Now I know what it takes to break a heart
You hold it in your hands
And you tear it apart
Now I know what it takes to break a heart
I held it in my hands
As we both fell apart
