If I said it once
I'll say it a million times
There ain't no reason in this world that we should still be alive
We came out of the dusk into the dark of the night
And caught a fever for each other
Cause the time was right and on our side
And through the fog and smoke with not an alibi
I peaked my head through a window
Just to pass the time
Where you stood on a stage in a gentle haze
With your daddy's charm and your mama's eyes
And I cried
♪
I really miss the time when I would treat you right
We'd cruise to Malibu for that vampire view
And it felt just right
Our loving could've split the night
And you would lay down beside me
Pressed against my chest
And we would count the stars
And our heads were a mess
But we didn't mind
Oh, it wasn't all a waste
Cause we really know now
Just how a heart breaks
♪
Growing up as a small town barefoot dreamer in the fields and farms
Brought up by the believers
I carved out a place way down deep inside
For only me to stumble and only me to hide
Always ripe, but never ready
From an early age
And you came along and scribbled all over my pages
Like a prince, I'd come calling all hours of the night
Often whiskey bent and bloody from a fight

Pressed against my chest

And our heads were a mess
Girl, we didn't mind
No, it wasn't all a waste
Cause we really know now
Just how a heart breaks
Oh, and nothing was sweeter than the smell of her sweater
And the vision of her getting ready for bed
And the sound of a tune rolling off her perfect lips

So, baby, baby, don't you look so sad
With your mama's tears and your child like stance
For you, I'd take a knife
Hell, I'd give up my life
So, don't let 'em tell you lies
Babe, it wasn't all in vein
Cause, even if for old time's sake
We really know now
Just how a heart breaks
Oh, it wasn't all a waste
Cause we really know now
Oh, oh just how a heart breaks
