The Way You Break a Heart

You find an empty kitchen table
You say we need to talk
I could see it in your eyes
It's written on the walls
It's been a long time coming
I should have seen it coming

Oh, no
You put your head in your hands
To get the weight off your chest
You say you'll always love me
And we both did our best, but that ain't the way it happened
What the hell just happened?
Oh, no

You just slammed the door and tore off down the driveway for no reason
You didn't have to put tears in my eyes and make leavin' look so easy
Screaming things that you don't mean, tearin' me apart
With two years and some change packed in your car
No breaking up don't have to be this hard
Babe I hate the way you break a heart

Now you're ripping off the label
Like you couldn't help yourself
Waking up the neighbors
And putting me through hell
Do you get some satisfaction leaving in dramatic fashion?
Oh, no

Why make it worse than you need to?
Didn't your mama ever teach you?
We don't slam the door and tear off down the driveway without reason
You didn't have to put tears in my eyes and make leavin' look so easy
Screamin' things that you don't mean, tearin' me apart
With two years and some change packed in your car
No breaking up don't have to be this hard
Babe I hate the way you break a heart
Yeah
The way you break a heart

Yeah
Now I'm cryin' in your sweatshirt
Damn it I look stupid
What the hell did I do to make you wanna do this?

You just slammed the door and tore off down the driveway without reason
You didn't have to put tears in my eyes and make leavin' look so easy
Screaming things that you don't mean, tearin' me apart
With two years and some change packed in your car
No breaking up don't have to be this hard
Babe I hate the way you break a heart
