The Struts - How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart) Lyrics

I never want to take away your precious time
You need a hand to hold but mine is sold
You're lying on my chest and saying I'm the best
I could act but I can't play the role

I know your eyes only see forever
We taste so sweet together
When I look in the mirror
It hurts like hell, asking myself

How can I love you without breaking your heart?
'Cause you're trying to burn all my pieces together
But it's making me fall apart
So how can I love you without breaking your heart?
'Cause you're trying to burn all my pieces together
But it's making me fall apart
Making you fall apart

This truth may be the coldest that I've come to know
There's so much about me that you don't see
And if I let you in, the ending won't begin
You're waiting for someone who'll never be

I know your eyes only see forever
We taste so sweet together
When I look in the mirror
It hurts like hell, asking myself

How can I love you without breaking your heart?
'Cause you're trying to burn all my pieces together
But it's making me fall apart
So how can I love you without breaking your heart?
'Cause you're trying to burn all my pieces together
But it's making me fall apart
Making you fall apart

You're seeing what your heart only wants to see
And hoping soon that I'll find my way
You're falling for a dream I wish I could believe
And longing for what I'll never see

How can I love you without breaking your heart?
'Cause you're trying to burn all my pieces together
But it's making me fall apart
So how can I love you without breaking your heart?
'Cause you're trying to burn all my pieces together
But it's making me fall apart
Making you fall apart
