Don’t you wanna go for a ride?
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don’t you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded, I was stranded
And I’m steady but I’m starting to shake
And I don’t know how much more I can take
Well, this is it now
Everybody, get down!
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Don’t you wanna go for a ride?
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won’t you do what I told you?
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine, you and I,
Now why you gotta make it so hard on me?
Yeah, it’s hard on me!
And I’m sorry, but it’s not a mistake
And I’m running, but you’re getting away
Well, this is it now
Everybody, get down!
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Well, this is how a heart breaks
You’re not the best thing that I knew
Never was, never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It’s just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You’re just the same thing that I knew
Back before the time when I was only for you
Hell, this is it now
Everybody, get down!
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Hell, this is it now
Everybody, get down!
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(This is it, yeah, yeah, this is it)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can’t take it
(Can’t take it)
Can’t take it
(Can’t take it)
This is how a heart breaks
(Can’t take it no more)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
This is how a heart breaks
I can’t take it
(Can’t take it)
I can’t take it
(Can’t take it)
I can’t take it
This is how a heart breaks
Oh…
This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks
