Couldn't get through the night, so we had to call it a day

The words came out; they couldn't be erased

Saw the pain in your eyes, and I knew everything had changed

Em
I'm the breaker of your heart
Dm
I ain't saying what you want
G
But baby, please, know that if
C Em
Somehow we make it alive

Oh, this might be asking a lot

When it's all said and done, don't forget that you loved me
