Just a one more kiss
He'll have to miss
This night with you
Now you're guilty of this secret love, i am too

You'll get used to telling lies
And feeling sorry when he cries
Now that the strings are attached
You catch on, we've done our part

Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart

Lesson number one
We've just begun
To hurt him so

And with lesson two
I'll long for you
When nights are long

And we get to lesson three
When he gets down on his knees
Begs me to stop at the door

Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart

Well we layed a trail of tears
For him to follow
And we've thought of every line
That he might swollow

And with lesson four
There'll be no more
For him to bear
And on some dark night
We'll dim the lights
On this affair

And he'll find someone new
And she'll likely hurt him too
'cause there most be millions just like you and me
Practiced in the art

Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart
Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart
Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart
Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart
