Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life?
When I cut you off
I cut myself with the same damn knife
[PreChorus]
Hide my tears in the pourin' rain
Had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name, run away
'Cause it's all in vain
[Chorus]
My heart's breaking even
Now there's no use we even try
Hey, I cried, yeah, I lied
Hell, I almost died
We've got our reasons
Let's just fold the cards and say goodbye
It's alright
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
[Verse 2]
It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it
We couldn't understand it
[Verse 3]
But nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away
Before it's too late
[PreChorus]
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There, in the stains, we remain
No one left to blame
[Chorus]
My heart's breaking even
Now there's no use we even try
Hey, I cried, yeah, I lied
Hell, I almost died
We both got our reasons
Let's just fold the cards and say goodbye
It's alright
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
[Bridge]
Go on, get on with your life
Yeah, and I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops
Yeah, it's the perfect crime
[Bridge]
Twisting and turning, the night keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again
[Chorus]
My heart's breaking even
Now there's no use we even try
Hey, I cried, yeah, I lied
Hell, I almost died
We've got out reasons
Let's just fold the cards and say goodbye
It's alright
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Outro]
Oh, get up
Oh, walk out the door
Shake it off
Can't love you anymore
That's alright
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
Gonna love life not like we used to do
Tell me how in the world it'd be better than me and you
Two hearts breaking even tonight
