John Hiatt The Way We Make a Broken Heart lyrics

Just a one more kiss he'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 he cries
Now that the strings are attached he'll catch on we've done our part

Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart

Lesson number one we've just begun to hurt him so
And with lesson two I'll long for you when lights are low
And we get to lesson three when he gets down on his knees
Begs me to stop at the door just before he comes apart

Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart

Well we laid a trail of tears for him to follow
And we've thought of every lie that he might swallow


And with lesson four there'll be no more for him to bear
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affair
And he'll find somebody new and she'll likely hurt him too
'Cause there must be millions just like you and me practiced in the art

Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart
Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart

Oh this is the way we make a broken heart
This is the way we make a broken heart
Yeah this is the way we make a broken heart
This is the way we make a broken heart
