Hate to See Your Heart Break

There is not a single word

In the whole world

That could describe the hurt

The dullest knife just sawing back and forth

And ripping through the softest skin there ever was

How were you to know?

Oh, how were you to know?

And I

I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I

I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

Love happens all the time

To people who aren't kind

And heroes who are blind

Expecting perfect-scripted movie scenes

Who wants an awkward silent mystery?

How were you to know?

Well, how were you to know? Oh, oh

And I

I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I

I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

For all the air that's in your lungs

For all the joy that is to come

For all the things that you're alive to feel

Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal

Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)

Oh, how were you to know?

And I

I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I

I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before
