Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just one more kiss she'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 tellin' lies
Feelin' sorry when she cries
Now that the strings aren't attached, you'll catch on
We've done our part
[Verse 2]
Oh, and this is the way
We make a broken heart
[Verse 3]
Lesson number one
We've just begun to hurt her so
And with lesson two
She'll long for you when lights are low
And we get to lesson three
When she gets down on her knees
Begs you to stop at the door
Just before she comes apart
Oh, this is is the way
We make a broken heart
[Verse 4]
Now we've made a trail of tears
For her to follow
And we've thought of every line
That she might swallow
[Verse 5]
And with lesson four
There'll be no more for her to bear
And on some dark night
We'll dim the lights on this affair
Then she'll find somebody new
And he'll likely hurt her too
There must be millions just like you and me
Practiced in the art
[Verse 6]
Oh, and this is the way
We make a broken heart
Oh, and this is the way
We make a broken heart
[Verse 7]
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
This is the way we make a broken heart
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
(This is the way)
This is the way, this is the way, this is the way
Oh, this is the way
We make a broken heart
(This is the way)
This is the way, this is the way, this is the way
This is the way we make a broken heart
