Well it broke her heart/ But if it didn't break/ She would have kicked
it in/ And kicked it in anyway/At least since it broke her heart/ She
remembered why we do this

Whether you're listening or not listening/ We're going to kick it
out/ And kick it out gladly/ If it had been perfect/ She would not
remember why we do this

Your heart is for breaking
Your troubling path
Makes you see beauty
You otherwise never would have

She sits at her piano/ You down
with your pen/ Another at his
canvas/ And we all begin to speak
As the tears come raining down
We wonder why we kept the
pain locked up inside

Our hearts are for breaking
Our troubling path
Makes us see beauty
We otherwise never would have

Well it broke her heart/ But if
it didn't break/ She would have
kicked it in/ And kicked it in
anyway/ And if it had been perfect
She would not remember why we do this

Your heart is for breaking/ Your troubling path/ Makes you see beauty
You otherwise never would have/ Our hearts are for breaking
Our troubling, tiresome path/ Makes us write letters to our loved
ones/ Gives us stories we can tell
