You can walk through the years holding your tears
And try to slip through time
You can choke back the words, swallow the hurt
And let it burn inside
You can't live that way
I can hardly believe what's happened to you
You're like a wall
I know you too well to take it all in stride
You're bound to fall
You can't live that way
Broken hearts are an open book
Don't waste your time
Open your eyes and take a good hard look
At me this time
Let this heart break the spell that you're under
I'll hold back the rain and follow your surrender
It's not so hard to show a little faith
Let this heart break
The spell that you're under
You can carry your cross, bury the loss
Walk a broken line
You can weather the pain alone in the rain
For a long, long time
You just can't live that way
Broken hearts are an open book
Don't waste your time
Open your eyes and take a good hard look
At me this time
Try to believe there's a light up ahead
And watch it shine
Open your eyes and take a good hard look
At me this time
At me this time
Let this heart break the spell that you're under
Let this heart break the spell that you're under
Let this heart break the spell that you're under
