Hearts Don't Break, People Do
they say that it's your heart that hurtswhen it lacks the love to make it work your blood will boil, your chest will burstyour foolish pride is at its worstand if your blood is not scalding hotit's freezing cold, your veins they clot or scablike an electric chairyou know it's ending quick but painfulwith lonely hearts and foolish prideit makes no difference to be definedit's just the way we talk aboutwhen love runs out when love runs outyou'd think a heart that's brokenwould just shrivel and compactthe valves they'd shut, the pressure buildthe seams and sinews warp and crackand though that's quite poeticyou know that doesn't make it truein fact the brain does much more suffering than a muscle like the heart will ever doyour mind's a fragile thingromances wrecks it's wiringLetras de cancionesyour senses dull, your logic's goneand you can't even see or talk to anyoneand if everything just stays the sameexpands and then contractsand symbolism won't line up with scientific factand when you say your heart's decayingI know that's your way of sayingyou just don't know how to be on your ownyou just don't know how to be on your ownwith lonely hearts and foolish prideit makes no difference to be definedit's just the way we talk aboutwhen love runs out when love runs out(x2)
