Break My Heart Slowly


We were never big on plans
The map was first to go
We saw all the signs
Except the one marked slow
Everything we knew
We just forgot
The speed won't kill you
Just watch the sudden stop

  chorus:
  If we're going nowhere
  Don't make a fuss
  Break my heart slowly
  I'm in no rush
  Yeah, I'm in no rush

We did love at first sight
Like it was going out of style
It could end in tears
That’s so juvenile
Yeah we might go dark
And then ignite
But there's always sparks
When two people collide

  chorus:
  If we're going nowhere
  Don't make a fuss
  Break my heart slowly
  I'm in no rush
  Yeah, I'm in no rush


    bridge:
    I don't know how you do it
    Acting so serene
    I'm so nervous looking up
    At your high wire routine
    Go on kiss me now
    Gotta stop the feeling
    I'm in over my head
    And you're not far from leaving

  chorus:
  If we're going nowhere
  Don't make a fuss
  Break my heart slowly
  I'm in no rush
  Yeah, I'm in no rush
