I don't have to hide it
Yes, it hurts inside
It's not the way I'd like to feel

But in love, you take the risk
That your heart could break like this
So you just don't get behind the wheel


And I'd rather have it broken, broken
Broken in pieces on the ground

I'd rather have it aching, shaking
Making that melancholy sound
If I'm gonna taste that sweet, sweet honey

I'm bound to feel the sting
I'd rather have it broken, broken
Than to never feel a thing


Never feel a thing


You can calculate how much love your heart can take
And still escape before you fall
But if you don't cross the line

There's a chance you'll never find
The kind of love that's worth it all


And I'd rather have it broken, broken
Broken in pieces on the ground
I'd rather have it aching, shaking

Making that melancholy sound
If I'm gonna taste that sweet, sweet honey
I'm bound to feel the sting

I'd rather have it broken, broken
Than to never feel a thing


'Cause even when I'm all alone
Listening to it moan and groan
I'd rather have it broken, broken

Than to have a heart of stone

I'd rather have it broken, broken

Broken in pieces on the ground
I'd rather have it aching, shaking
Making that melancholy sound

If I'm gonna taste that sweet, sweet honey
I'm bound to feel the sting
I'd rather have it broken, broken

Than to never feel a thing

Never feel a thing


I think I'd rather feel the sting
Than to never, ever feel a thing

I'd rather have it broken, broken

You can have a heart of stone

But you're gonna find yourself alone
I'd rather have it broken, broken
