Heart Won't Break

I can see it coming
A thousand miles away
I keep on running
But this ain't something I'll escape
You're gonna leave me
You say it's better this way
But I know it's gonna hit like a hard rain
Falling on an open field
There ain't no cover when you say it's over
You can't tell me how to feel

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
If you say those words, your work is done
And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry
And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye
'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

I try to stay distracted
But the days are too long
Baby, were you acting
Every night when we were alone?
It felt like magic
But it was all just a dream
So you try to let me down easy, say you wanna stay friends
Well, you can turn the pages of my story, babe
But you can't tell me how it ends

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
If you say those words, your work is done
And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry
And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye
'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

So if you're reaching out in a month from now as I'm starting to mend
And you say you made such a big mistake and could I take you back again
No

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
If you say those words, your work is done
And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry
And there's nothing you can say to put the good in your goodbye
'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

Oh no, never gonna break the way you want
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
