THE HEART YOU BREAK THE HARDEST

Verse 1
We dance all night on widescreen
Like the sun won’t ever rise
And all the sky we’ll ever need
Is in each other’s eyes.
We kiss. We fight. We smash the moon.
Then laugh like rom com fools,
The king and queen of all romance
Remaking every rule ….

Chorus
There’s a movie playing in my head
Of how we used to be,
Our love in lights, before
We made this two-star tragedy.
I see your name. It’s flashing still
In silence on my phone.
Sure, you’re a heartbreaker, baby,
But the heart you break the hardest is your own.

Verse 2
I should have seen it coming
Like audiences do.
I should have known you’d have to …
Over-complicate those rules.
No-one can resist you –
You’re a leading lady’s dream.
Good hearts stay true like mine for you
And truth is all I need.

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge (rap)
I didn’t understand the day I met you
That fame would never leave us all alone.
I didn’t understand you were a heartbreaker
Or the heart you’d break the hardest was your own.

All I saw was you and how I loved you.
All I felt was joy. You made me smile
Listening to the thought of you, your music, your laughter,
The symphony we danced to for a while.

You know and I do too that I will love you
Until the stars have stopped and there’s no night.
You know that I believe in you. There’s magic
In the people who have shown us our true light.

If only you had known a little sooner –
If only you had seen just what we had,
I wouldn’t have to watch you, watch you breaking,
Breaking for the love, the love you want, the love we could have had!!

Chorus (repeat)

Outro
The heart you break the hardest is your own.
