The Way We Make A Broken Heart

John Hiatt, Rosanne Cash
Album : Anthology : John Hiatt

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
