Love is a dangerous game that we played
There's so much you can lose
When two hearts are at stake
And you were a risk I was willing to take
But a heart is a terrible thing to break

Pain is the price that we both have to pay
For the walks in the park
And the sweet summer days
Sometimes love is a beautiful, stupid mistake
Oh, a heart is a terrible thing to break

Stumbling through memories
Trying to let go of each broken piece
'Cause you and I both know
That our history is where it's meant to be
Never to repeat (ah-ah, ah-ah)

Lately, I'm having this recurring dream
Where I'm back in your town
And we pass on the street
And you turn around and all that you can say
Is: My heart was a terrible thing to break
