The Way We Make A Broken Heart lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Just one more kiss, she'll have to miss this night with you 

Now you're guilty of this secret love, as I am too 

You'll get used to telling lies, feeling sorry when she cries 

Now that the strings aren't attached, you'll catch on, we've done our part 

Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart 

Lesson number one, we've just begun to hurt her so 

And with lesson two she'll long for you when lights are low 

And we get to lesson three when she gets down on her knees 

And begs you to stop at the door just before she comes apart 

Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart 

Now we've made a trail of tears for her to follow 

And we've thought of every line that she might swallow 

And with lesson four, there'll be no more for her to bear 

And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affair 

Then she'll find somebody new and he'll likely hurt her too 

'Cause there must be millions just like you and me, practiced in the art 

Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart 

Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart 

Ay yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi 

This is the way we make a broken heart 

Ay yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

This is the way, this is the way, this is the way, this is the way 

Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart
