Like a Broken Heart Should Lyrics

I started off once bitten, twice shy

Pushed my heart to the back of my mind

Thought maybe love could get so distant

That I wouldn't even really miss it

I was hanging fire a long time

But you were set on treating me right

So I went against my better judgment

Guess I called this what it wasn't

'Cause now your memory feels like nails on a chalkboard

And I don't remember what I fell in love for

But it must've been good

'Cause it hurts like it should

Was scared no one could love my dark side

But you put your future there next to mine

Took the walls right out of my head

Then pictured them as our apartment and

We were so crisscrossed in bed

Said I'd never cave-in

But you held my hand

Said you could take it

And it felt so damn good

To fall harder than I thought I could

It hurts just like I knew it would

It hurts just like a broken heart should

And I can't forget that winter night

The stars flickered like candlelight

And you kissed me on the beach

And my God, the ocean air tasted sweet

And I can't forget that sugar high

And I could spend my whole life trying

Trying

But your memory feels like nails on a chalkboard

And I don't know what the hell I fell in love for

'Cause I won't find as good

And it hurts like it should
