[Verse 1]
Broken dishes on the kitchen floor
No goodbye, just a slammin' door
Let my feelings run away, now my mind's caught up
Wish I could've seen this for what it was
[Chorus]
But when you fall, you fall heart first
And when you hit the ground, it hurts
Wish there was another way
Without the crash and burn
That I could learn
But when you fall, you fall heart first
[Verse 2]
Swore I knew on that very first night
Head couldn't have told me no different if it tried
Had that all in tunnel vision, didn't think it through
Yeah, I only saw what I wanted to
[Chorus]
'Cause when you fall, you fall heart first
And when you hit the ground, it hurts
Wish there was another way
Without the crash and burn
That I could learn
But when you fall, you fall heart first, oh
[Bridge]
Let my feelings run away, now my mind's caught up
Wish I could've seen this for what it was
I thought it was love
And maybe I shoulda known that a feelin' ain't enough
[Chorus]
But when you fall, you fall heart first
And when you hit the ground, it hurts
Wish there was another way
Without the crash and burn
That I could learn
But when you fall, you fall heart first
