Breaking

By Anberlin

Do you memorize theatrical lines
That seem to lead them in
Play the role with a good girl heart
Hide the tangled webs within

Who was it that led you on
And makes you want to hurt me so
Who do you want to forget
Who forgot you long ago

Do you still feel him
Calling in the air tonight
Do you still feel it
Seems like you've done this before

You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
Have you done this you’ve done this before

You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is that girl I adore
You’ve got breaking up all but down
And I can’t love a thief anymore

Do you collect the souls you’ve lost
In the top of your dresser drawer
Count the number of tears displaced
On lonely bedroom floors

A machine where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew

Do you still feel him
Calling in the air tonight
Do you still feel it
Seems like you've done this before

You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
Have you done this you’ve done this before

You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is that girl I adore
You’ve got breaking up all but down
And I can’t love a thief anymore

You make breaking hearts look so easy
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down

You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
Have you done this you’ve done this before

The best you could hope to be is
Now just a bitter sweet memory and
You make breaking hearts look so easy

Petrified Heart

By Caedmon's Call


This old heart's been left
Out on my sleeve
And I have paid as it's been rent
Into pieces

Seems everyone I've loved has
Taken a bit of my insides
I'm scattered as the woman whose body
Was torn for the twelve tribes

When did my heart get so petrified
When did it get so hard to feel
When did my heart get so afraid to love
When did it get so hard

And the easy-living Gnostic proud
Use their knowledge
Like a wreaking ball to tear me down
Flooding me with their fallacies
I can't walk on this water
I'm starting to drown

When did my heart get so petrified
When did it get so hard to feel
When did my heart get so afraid to love
When did it get so hard

Strike this rock with your rod
I'll take the blows
Till your living water begins to flow
As it flowed from the Man of Sorrows' side
On that day when his body
Was torn for the twelve tribes
Torn for the twelve tribes

When did my heart get so petrified
When did it get so hard to feel
When did my heart get so afraid to love
When did it get so hard
