lyrics

in moments she became the heart of my many fixations
a long night didn't shorten as I learned she was taken
and I imagined our whole lives just transfixed on her picture
and all that I have left for me is this screen and its flicker

when he breaks your heart can I buy you a new one
maybe not a heart but some coffee or wine
it'd sure be shame if he met another girl and he fucker her
and you're not a man's property but I'm wishing you were mine

and I'm thankful for the wanting cause it's hope that gets me through
a spinning wheel in my head of a future me and you
and I know that I tell myself that it's better not to find out
but that's a lie I use from time to time just to give myself some room
just to give myself some room because

when he breaks your heart can I buy you a new one
maybe not a heart but some coffee or wine
it'd sure be a shame if he ran away with another girl
and I know that it's pitiful but I'm waiting here in line
yes I'm waiting here in line

and when he breaks your heart
and when he breaks your heart
and when he breaks your heart
and when he breaks your heart
