Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Turning all your words to weapons
When I’m only asking questions
I waved my flag, ‘cause loving you is war
At first the drama thrilled me
But I just can’t let it kill me, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
[Chorus]
And I know you don’t wanna listen
But you’ve missed the definition
‘Cause you can’t use love to justify the pain
[Verse 2]
I knew it might get messy
When we both felt so intensely
Yeah, we said we’d never felt this way before
But you know, none of this will matter
If you’re tryna leave me shattered, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
[Chorus]
And I know you don’t wanna listen
But you’ve missed the definition
‘Cause you can’t use love to justify the pain, pain
[Verse 3]
So none of this will matter
If you’re tryna leave me shattered, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
[Outro]
At first the drama thrilled me
But I just can’t let it kill me, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
