A shattered heart in love's debris
Do what you wanna do, be who you want to be
A dumb mistake, too much to pay
They said it wasn't meant to last
A shattered heart in love's debris
And then you say this can't be happening to me
Driving 'em wild in the fast lane?
A shattered heart in love's debris
Gone and blown it all
How can you say it doesn't matter much to me?
So who's your latest flame?
But the boy has no shame
Gone and blown it all
How can you say it doesn't matter much to me?
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Look at the state of you
A dumb mistake, too much to pay
We shine for liberty, life and the pursuit of pleasure
And how the days have flown too few and fast
A dumb mistake, too much to pay
Don't know what you've got till it's gone
A shattered heart in love's debris
You're all fingers and thumbs
Won't say I told you so
Nothing at all to show for a love so precious
And life is a wonderful thing
A dumb mistake, too much to pay
And then you say this can't be happening to me
Gone and blown it all
Gone and blown it all
A dumb mistake, too much to pay
When I'm in your arms I'm strong
We were double or quits then some
Once when my hands were full
The thrill of the chase then it's gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
When you're humming the words to a love song
