You're Breaking My Heart

I'm not made out of steel
My heart is ready to break
Everywhere I go I see your face
You're looking like a princess
I just want to quake.
I'm just another ex-love you don't want to see
And I keep thinking
If you want to break my heart, just break it
Instead of giving me hope
Because tomorrow when you change your mind
You'll dash it like shattered glass.
I'm broken and I'm bleeding
You're just a baby shark.

I got this feeling down in my bones
That you are such bad news.
I should have walked another 27 blocks
Away from you
So now, I have 27 blocks to go
To get away from you
But baby, I still see you
And your vile, tempestuous self.
You wear a mask to hide your true form
But I suspect your do not even know
Who you really are anymore.
And I will never trust again.

Lines = 25


if you're gonna break my heart just break it
27 blocks to go
I'm not made out of steel
everywhere I go I see your face
baby, I still see you
just another ex-love you don't wanna see
looking like a princess
I got this feeling inside my bones
baby shark

if you're gonna break my heart just break it
play me close
27 blocks to go
I'm not made out of steel
everywhere I go I see your face
this is perfect
baby, I still see you
you're running out of time
just another ex-love you don't wanna see
looking like a princess
I need more hours with you
you love me now and I feel the same way
I got this feeling inside my bones
