Well I hope that you remember what you did
Blaspheming from that perch on which you sit
You stole from him the home he had
Like a siren luring a sailor to his death
You filled his head with lies and bullshit
You stole from him the innocence he had
And I sincerely hope that you remember what you did
And I sincerely hope that you remember what you did
‘Cause breaking hearts is what you do
You’re thorough girl
In everything you do
‘Cause breaking hearts is what you do
You’re thorough girl
In everything you do
And one day you’ll pick up the phone
You’ll say sorry and beg for forgiveness
So he can hang up the phone not feeling so clueless
And we can all stop hoping that you…
That you find Jesus
And one day you’ll stop feeling foolish
You’ll forgive the folks, the folks that did you wrong
And you will realize that taking an eye is wrong
And you will realize that taking an eye is wrong
‘Cause breaking hearts is what you do
You’re thorough girl
In everything you do
‘Cause breaking hearts is what you do
You’re thorough girl
In everything…everything you do
Hurt others trying to be square
Break people once you strip them bare
Breaking bones for bread is no way to live
Breaking bones for bread is no way to live
And I said breaking bones for bread is no way to live
Breaking bones for bread is no way to live
One day, one day
You’ll put those childish things away
And one day, one day
You’ll put those childish things away
One day
Breaking bones for bread is no way to live
Breaking bones for bread is no way to live
And I said breaking bones for bread is no way to live
Breaking bones for bread is no way to live
