Lightning strikeInside my chest to keep me up at nightDream of waysTo make you understand my pain Clouds of sulfur in the airBombs are falling everywhereIt's heartbreak warfare Once you want it to beginNo one really ever winsIn heartbreak warfare If you want more loveWhy don't you say so?If you want more loveWhy don't you say so? Drop his namePush it in and twist the knife againWatch my faceAs I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain Clouds of sulfur in the airBombs are falling everywhereIt's heartbreak warfare Once you want it to beginNo one really ever winsIn heartbreak warfare If you want more loveWhy don't you say so?If you want more loveWhy don't you say so?Just say so How come the only way to know how high you get meIs to see how far I fall?God only knows how much I'd love you if you let meBut I can't break through it allIt's a heart, heartbreak I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonightLet's just fix this whole thing nowI swear to God we're gonna get it rightIf you lay your weapon down Red wine and AmbienYou're talking shit againIt's heartbreak warfare Good to know it's all a gameDisappointment has a nameIt's heartbreak, heartbreak It's heartbreak warfareIt's heartbreak warfareIt's heartbreak warfare

Just when I had you off my headYour voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bedYou say you wanna try againBut I've tried everything but giving in Why you wanna break my heart againWhy am I gonna let you try When all we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbye I bought a ticket on a planeAnd by the time it landed, you were gone againI love you more than songs can sayBut I can't keep running after yesterday So why you wanna break my heart againWhy am I gonna let you try When all we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbye We say goodbyeWe say goodbyeWe say goodbye All we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbyeAll we ever do is say goodbye

I was born in the arms of imaginary friendsFree to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've beenThen you come on crashing inLike the realest thingTried my best to understandAll that your love can bring Half of my heart's got a grip on the situationHalf of my heart takes timeHalf of my heart's got the right mind to tell youThat I can't keep loving youWith half of my heart I was made to believe I'd never love somebody elseMade a plan, stayed the man who can only love himselfLonely was the song I sang'Til the day you cameShowing me another wayAnd all that my love can bring Half of my heart's got a grip on the situationHalf of my heart takes timeHalf of my heart's got the right mind to tell youThat I can't keep loving youWith half of my heartWith half of my heart Your faith is strongBut I can only fall short for so longDown the road later onYou will hate that I never gave more to youThan half of my heartBut I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving youI can't stop loving youWith half of my Half of my heartHalf of my heart Half of my heart's got a real good imaginationHalf of my heart's got youHalf of my heart's got a right mind to tell youThat half of my heart won't do Half of my heart is a shotgun weddingTo a bride with a paper ringAnd half of my heart is the part of a manWho's never truly loved anything Half of my heart

Had a little love, but I spread it thinFalling in her arms and out againMade a bad name for my game around townTore out my heart and shut it down Nothing to do, nowhere to beA simple little kind of freeNothing to do, no one but meAnd that's all I need I'm perfectly lonelyI'm perfectly lonelyI'm perfectly lonely (yeah)'Cause I don't belong to anyoneNobody belongs to me I see my friends around from time to timeWhen their ladies let 'em slip awayAnd when they ask me how I'm doing with mineThis is always what I say Nothing to do, nowhere to beA simple little kind of freeNothing to do, no one to beIsn't really hard to see Why I'm perfectly lonelyI'm perfectly lonelyI'm perfectly lonely (yeah)'Cause I don't belong to anyoneNobody belongs to me And this is not to sayThere never comes a dayI'll take my chances and start againAnd when I look behind On my all younger timesI'll have to thank the wrongs that lead me to a love so strong I'm perfectly lonelyI'm perfectly lonelyI'm perfectly lonely (yeah)'Cause I don't belong to anyoneNobody belongs That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it

I work in the dead of nightWhen the roads are quietAnd no one is aroundTo track my moves Racing the yellow lightsTo find the gate is openShe's waiting in the roomI just slip on through You get in, you get doneAnd then you get goneYou never leave a traceOr show your face, you get gone Should have turned aroundAnd left before the sun came up againBut the sun came up again Enter the morning lightTo find the day is burningThe curtains and the wineIn a little white room No, I'm not aloneHer head is heavy on meShe's sleeping like a childWhat could I do? You get in, you get doneAnd then you get goneYou never leave a traceOr show your face, you get gone Should have turned aroundAnd left before the sun came up againBut the sun came up again I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seenI'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thingI'm an assassin and I had a job to doLittle did I know that girl was an assassin too Suddenly I'm inOver my head andI can hardly breatheSuddenly I'm floatingOver her bed andI feel everything Suddenly I knowExactly what I didBut I cannot move a thingSuddenly I knowExactly what I doneAnd what it's gonna mean to meMean to me I'm gone I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seenI'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thingI'm an assassin and I had a job to doLittle did I know that girl was an assassin too She's an assassin andShe's an assassin andShe's an assassin andShe's an assassin and she had a job to do

Young and full of running, tell me where has that taken me?Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity?Love is really nothingBut a dream that keeps waking meFor all of my trying, we still end up dyingHow can it be? Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I seeI want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believeThere I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me So young and full of runningAll the way to the edge of desireSteady my breathing, silently screamingI have to have you nowWired and I'm tiredThink I'll sleep in my clothes on the floorOr maybe this mattress will spin on its axisAnd find me on yours Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I seeI want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believeThere I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
