trying too hard
won't go far
how much is too much?
how much is not enough?
hanging out here, on in between there
up the creek here, to down the street there

if you break my heart, you pay for it
if you break my heart, you bought it

some decisions are incisions
much too late to make revisions
sorry, it's just a suture
leave a scar into the future
pencil's better than a pen
neatly try to change it again
this time i spilled the ink
gone and stained what you think

if you break my heart, you pay for it
if you break my heart, you bought it

how you gonna pay for this one?
how you gonna pay for this one?
how you gonna pay for this one?
how you gonna pay for this?

don't cost too much
ain't worth much
bought second-hand
not in demand
over the counter
whopping twenty pounder
big ol' bloody heart
just another body part

if you break my heart, you pay for it
if you break my heart, you bought it
