Lyrics
VERSE
Only so many times can you put your heart on the line
'Cause there's things out there that will hurt it bad
I've had to find the strength I didn't know I had
CHORUS
('Cause) (Now) (Yes) A heart it can be broken only so many times
And then it's done
My heart don't want to be no more the victim of your crime
Hit and run
Yes, a heart it can be broken only so many times
VERSE
I let you pull me in and then you turn me away
I let you under my skin and then you make me pay
But your price is too high; I don't wanta die
Repeat CHORUS
RIDE
BRIDGE
They say in your life your heart beats only so many times
And I'm thinkin' all this heartbreak is like a warnin' sign
Repeat CHORUS (2x)
TAG
Yes, a heart it can be broken only so many times
