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 led you on
And 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
Youve got breaking hearts all but down
Have you done this youve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is that girl I adore
Youve got breaking up all but down
And I cant love a thief anymore
Do you collect the souls youve lost
In the top of your dresser drawer
Count the number of tears displaced
On lonely bedroom floors [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/anberlin/breaking.html ]
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
Youve got breaking hearts all but down
Have you done this youve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is that girl I adore
Youve got breaking up all but down
And I cant love a thief anymore
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Youve got breaking hearts all but down
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
Youve got breaking hearts all but down
Have you done this youve done this before
The best you could hope to be is
Now just a bitter sweet memory and
You make breaking hearts look so easy
This song is pretty much amazing. I feel such a connection to the girl, because it seems to me that she has been hurt so many times and suddenly she doesn't care anymore and continues to hurt other people, and there's this guy that he adores, but he can't do anything to help her, because it hurts too much. I relate to the girl because i've been hurt before to the point where i feel like i'm hurting others, and that's not right. So this song is an accountability and a confrontation that i shouldn't be so mean to my guy friends :)
I think this song is about a girl that he knew and loved, but then she changed and started breaking and stealing hearts, and he couldn't love a thief any more.
