lyrics

I’ve gotten to a strange new place
When friends my age wake up dead
diagnosis, remission, suspicion, attrition
What the hell lies ahead

We take so much for granted
We think that time always remains
Time has the last laugh
Gives us joy then pain

Chorus
Do we have to keep breaking our hearts (3x)
Till our hearts break open

So many sob’s
live to the age of 99
So many good people that I’ve known
Have died in their prime

I know no one said it was fair
But it’s a farce of cosmic dimensions.
If I met the maker, I’d say you’re a faker
Just looking for attention

Chorus
Do we have to keep breaking our hearts (3x)
Till our hearts break open

Bridge
When our hearts break open, it lets in the sadness
We otherwise would miss
But not letting it in, that way lies madness
We need to feel it to exist

Yeah we have to keep breaking our hearts 3x
Till our hearts break open
