Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish we never made it past the first hello
I didn't stand a chance
I wish I knew that we were better off alone
In some other circumstance
[Verse 2]
It could've worked out the way we wanted it to
Maybe I love the way it breaks me in two
[Verse 3]
Straight to the heart of it
Yeah, right before it broke
Back to the start of it
Thats what I miss the most
I always go straight to the heart of it
[Verse 4]
I watched your heart grow weak
While I held up the sky
It all came crashin' down
And all our love was lost
In the blink of an eye
Never to be found
[Verse 5]
It didn't work out the way we wanted it to
And maybe I love the way it breaks me in two
[Verse 6]
I always go straight to the heart of it
Yeah, right before it broke
Back to the start of it
Thats what I miss the most
I always go straight to the heart of it
[Verse 7]
We go straight to the heart of it
Yeah, right before it broke
Back to the start of it
Thats what I miss the most, miss the most
I always go straight to the heart of it
Straight to the heart of it
