Heartbreaker Wanna Be

It's kinda funny saying stuff to someone who'll never hear it
Kinda makes you feel like you can say anything at all
But there's been kinda a tension and I wonder if you feel it
Wonder if I can count on you at all.

Cause you see, I've been around for some time now
Watching you do what you do
Watching her walls fall down
Didn't really do anything to stop you
But hopefully I won't have to.

~chorus:
You say pretty words, you don't know how that sounds
It is getting worse, promise you'll catch her when she falls
Cause from where I'm standing
You're a heartbreaker wanna be
And I've had more of jerks than I will ever need
So if you're pretending
Just, please, surrender
Of your little game... Cause let me say...
If there's something I learned about heartbreakers wanna be
Is that they always end up crawling back on their knees.

So maybe deep inside you're a nice guy
With something to prove and nothing to lose
Maybe you've been taught that life
Won't hit you back if you don't be kind
Maybe you've been taught that love
Is just a one-way road
Until you realize that everything you thought you had
Don't mean anything at all.

~chorus:
You say pretty words, you don't know how that sounds
It is getting worse, promise you'll catch her when she falls
Cause from where I'm standing
You're a heartbreaker wanna be
And I've had more of jerks than I will ever need
So if you're pretending
Just, please, surrender
Of your little game... Cause let me say...
If there's something I learned about heartbreakers wanna be
Is that they always end up crawling back on their knees.

~bridge:
For the last dance of the ball
Take your mask off
Show her we're not just pows
Unable to determine whom to take a shot for
There's no shame in quitting when you're winning
If you're getting something much bigger
Than you would by pulling the trigger
Right into her open heart
Because you may spend a life building up a wall
But it only takes a glance for it to hopelessly fall.

~chorus:
She hears pretty words, she can't tell what they mean
It's getting worse, maybe she's not as strong as she seems
Cause from where I'm standing
You're a heartbreaker wanna be
And I've had more of jerks than I will ever need
So if you're pretending
Just, please, surrender
Of your little game... Cause let me say...
If there's something I learned about heartbreakers wanna be
Is that not even them know what they actually mean.
