I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (American Aquarium)

[Intro]

I'm hiding out in the big city blinking

What was I thinking when I let go of you?

[Verse 1]

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning

Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers

This is not a joke so please stop smiling

What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

[Verse 3]

I want to glide right through those brown eyes dreaming

Tack you from the inside, hold on tight

You were so right when you said I'd been drinking

What was I thinking when I said goodnight?

[Verse 4]

I wanna hold you in the Bible-black predawn

You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now

Take off your Band-Aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns

What was I thinking when wе said hello? (Hello)

[Verse 5]

I always thought that if I held you tightly

You would always lovе me like you did back then

'Til I fell asleep and the city kept blinking

What was I thinking when I let you back in?

[Refrain]

I am trying to break your heart

I am trying to break your heart

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy

Oh I'm trying to break your heart, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 6]

Disposable Dixie cup drinkers

I assassinate the avenues

I'm hiding out in the big city blinking

What was I thinking when I let go of you?

[Verse 7]

Oh let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning

Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers

This is not a joke, so please stop smiling

What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

[Verse 8]

I want to grab through those brown eyes dreaming

Tack you from the inside, hey, hold on tight

You were so right when you said I'd been drinking

What was I thinking when we said goodnight?

Goodnight, goodnight
