They spin away
Like all of the lanterns
Lighting the way
Of the small path we take
Lowering softly
Like a demi plié
But a small
Part of you holds on
To all of the things that went wrong
I've had the same grip for so long
I know hearts still break
But it takes less time to mend them
If your heart's anything like mine
I'm sure it's breaking all the time
But you don't have to understand it all
Take your time
Don't rush in or out
Or believe our doubting minds
In time
It will all add up
Just cling to love
But if your heart's anything like mine
I'm sure it's breaking all the time
You don't have to be afraid to fall
It seems the morning brings
A marionette heart
At the will of the strings
Oh the same heavy hand it steers
Lowering carelessly lowering still
But a small
Part of you holds on
To all of the things that went wrong
I've had the same grip for so long
I know hearts still break
But it takes less time to mend them
If your heart's anything like mine
I'm sure it's breaking all the time
But you don't have to understand it all
Just take your time
Don't rush in or out
Or believe our doubting minds
In time
It will all add up
Just cling to love
But if your heart's anything like mine
I'm sure it's breaking all the time
You don't have to be afraid to fall
If your heart's anything like mine
I'm sure it's breaking all the time
