That Is the Way to Make a Broken Heart (John Hiatt cover)
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, 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 And begs me to stop at the door Just before He comes apart
Oh, 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, This is the way we make a broken heart Oh, This is the way we make a broken heart
