It's the way you knock me out when you know that you are right

It's the 12th round of a showdown when you weren't looking for a fight

The way one look can take away my power and my might

You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It's your voice inside my head when I'm walking a thin line

Your eyes when all I'm wasting is your heart and all your time

You pull me from the ledge because you know it will be fine

You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It's an ocean blue

It's a grain of sand

A heart's a Milky Way in a heavy hand

And when both of ours collided I knew we would withstand

The thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It's the way you show me who I am then who I'm supposed to be

It's the way you crack me open to let the dark in me go free

You pull my head out of the sand so I can finally see

You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

It's the way our days seem endless and then gone without a trace

It's the new lines I see creeping from the smile on your face

The way time gives us so much more than it could ever take

You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart

You know a thousand tiny ways to break a heart
