It’s the way you knock me out when you know that you are right
It’s the 12th round of a showdown when you weren’t looking for a fight
The way one look can take away my power and my might
You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It’s your voice inside my head when I’m walking a thin line
Your eyes when all I’m wasting is your heart and all your time
You pull me from the ledge because you know it will be fine
You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It’s an ocean blue
It’s a grain of sand
A heart’s a Milky Way in a heavy hand
And when both of ours collided I knew we would withstand
The thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It’s the way you show me who I am then who I’m supposed to be
It’s the way you crack me open to let the dark in me go free
You pull my head out of the sand so I can finally see
You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It’s the way our days seem endless and then gone without a trace
It’s the new lines I see creeping from the smile on your face
The way time gives us so much more than it could ever take
You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart
You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart
You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart
