Flames to dust, 

Lovers to friends,

Why do all good things come to an end?

‘Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don’t break even.

While I’m wide awake she’s got no trouble sleeping.

I know you’re somewhere out there, 

Somewhere far away,

I sit by myself,

Talking to the moon.

You can’t play on broken strings.

You can’t feel anything that your heart don’t want to feel.

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you’re acting, Like somebody else.

She wanted someone that’s perfect,

Okay.

But can you tell me who is?

I know I’m not perfect.

But at the end of the day,

Who is?

‘Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don’t break even.

That should be me, holding your hand.

That should be me, making you laugh.

Do you ever hear me calling?

That should be me, feeling your kiss.

Cause every night,

That should be me, buying you gifts.

I’m talking to the moon,

Flames to dust, lovers to friends

Trying to get to you.

‘Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don’t break even.

The truth hurts, and lies worse.

You can’t play on broken strings.

I need to know if I fight for love, or disarm.

She set the bar just above the stars.

A rocket couldn’t reach it,

But I still kept on reaching.

She watched me try, at least a thousand times,

If she loved me, she’d stop me, but no,

She wanted someone that’s perfect.

I’m sick of second chances.

You’re taking him where we used to go.

If you’re trying to break my heart,

It’s working, cause you know that

I gave it up.

But I guess it wasn’t enough.

‘Cause she never seemed satisfied.

Love is not a victory march,

It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.

I’m talking to the moon, 

Still trying to get to you,

In hopes you’re on the other side,

Talking to me too.

She wanted someone that’s perfect,

Okay.

But can you tell me, Who is?

You can’t play on broken strings.

You can’t feel anything that your heart don’t want to feel.

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?

I can’t go on, until you believe that,

That should be me.

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,

And your heart starts to wonder where on earth I could be,

I’m the man who can’t be moved.
