Hate To See Your Heart Break

There is not a single word in the whole world
...
That could describe the hurt
...

The dullest knife just sawing back and forth
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was

How were you to know?
Oh, how were you to know?
...
And I, I hate to see your heart break
...
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
...
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before

...
Love happens all the time

...
To people who aren't kind
...
And heroes who are blind
...
Expecting perfect scripted movie scenes

...
Who wants an awkward silent mystery?
How were you to know?
Well, how were you to know-oh-oh?

...
And I, I hate to see your heart break
...
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
...
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
...
For all the air that's in your lungs
...
For all the joy that is to come
...
For all the things that you're alive to feel
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal
Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)
Oh, how were you to know?
...
And I, I hate to see your heart break
...
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
...
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
