Struggling with Breaking? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Do you memorize theatrical lines That seem to lead them in? Play the role with a good girl heart Hide the tangled webs within Who was it that lead you on That makes you want to hurt me so? Who do you want to forget? Who forgot you long ago? Do you still feel him Calling in the air tonight? Do you still feel it? Seems like you've done this before You make breaking hearts look so easy Seems like you've done this before You've got breaking hearts all but down And you've done this, you've done this before You make stealing hearts look so easy Where is the girl I adore? You've got breaking up all but down And I can't love a thief anymore Do you collect the souls you've lost In the top of your dresser drawer? Count the number of tears displaced On lonely bedroom floors A machine where your heart once was Slowly takes the place of you Only hold the memories now Of a love I thought I knew Do you still feel him Calling in the air tonight? Do you still feel it? Seems like you've done this before You make breaking hearts look so easy Seems like you've done this before You've got breaking hearts all but down And you've done this, you've done this before You make stealing hearts look so easy Where is the girl I adore? You've got breaking up all but down And I can't love a thief anymore You make breaking hearts look so easy You've got breaking hearts all but down You make breaking hearts look so easy Seems like you've done this before You've got breaking hearts all but down And you've done this, you've done this before The best you could hope to be Is now just a bittersweet memory and You make breaking hearts look so easy
