lyrics

I fell in love with a girl worth waiting for but now forever has come
I was selfish, I knew this was wrong, but they say the heart wants what it wants and I thought she wanted it, too; wanted this, too.
She played along, I loved this game, but that was before I knew what I stood to lose.
Oh I was tricked; she led me on. Why do the rightest things always end up wrong? And why won't she want this, too? Want me, too.
I fell in love then I fell apart. Love has bred a broken heart. I was so foolish to think this was meant to be.
I've made mistakes but I'll never learn wanting's bad, but waiting is so much worse when what's real and your dreams have no plans to meet.
I've got a heart that breaks too goddamn easily. I need one stronger or one no one can reach.
And It seems the things I want just don't work out these days.
And it seems the things I need just always slip away.
Scissors and a shaking hand are how I got this way.
It seems I'm not cut for this these days.
Maybe this love was never meant to be. Maybe my eyes just see what no one else can see.
I've got a heart that breaks too goddamn easily.
I need one stronger, or one no one can reach.
