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
