At least I can say I was not afraid
'Cause fools like me, oh, we love blindly

It's gotta break in front of me
'Cause fools like me, oh, we never see
But fools like me, oh, we love blindly

I'd pick the fool any day
Their love's gone away, love's gone away
It's gotta break in front of me

And now I see a different man rewriting memories
Tick tock the time, distant look grows in your eyes
And the cracks don't count
And the cracks don't count

The dogs run down the beach and all I'm left with is
I loved you all the way
Now I recall that time at the cafe
It's all in the little ways one reveals
They hold the loudest tones, they say you're right
I always knew, somehow always knew
But it's ink on a page, just ink on a page

And it's breaking, it's breaking, it's breaking
Sand in my shoes, sand in my shoes
The thunderstorm outside, words you could never say
It's gotta break for me to see

When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure
And fools never ask, afraid what lurks in your mind
I always knew the truth
It's gotta break in front of me
'Cause the cracks don't count
