Just one more kiss
He'll have to miss
This night with you
Now you're guilty of
This secret love
As I am too
I'll get used to telling lies
And feeling sorry when he cries
Now that the strings aren't attached
You'll catch on
We've done our part
This is the way we make a broken heart
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 when it comes to lesson three
When she gets down on her knees
And begs you to stop at the door
Just before
She comes apart
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart
Now, we've laid a trail of tears
For him to follow
And we've thought of every line
That he might swallow
And with lesson four
There will be no more
For him 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
Cause there must be millions just like you and me
Practiced in the art
This is the way we make a broken heart
I know, I know, I know, I know
This is the way we make a broken heart
It's time to break your heart
This is the way we make a broken heart
This is the way we make a broken heart
This is the way we make the broken heart
This is the way
