lyrics

Your heart was made to love, to love
It's true, it's true
But your heart was also made to break in two, into
Into tiny little pieces made of you
You scatter the pieces as you pass by
Leaving a trail to follow and I
Am following your broken heart to you

My heart was made to love, to love
I do, I do
But my heart was also made to break like you, like you
I scatter the pieces as I pass by
Sharp as knives, clear as sky
You can follow my broken heart to me

Our hearts were made to break
And it can't be a mistake
Maybe our hearts make spores
Breaking off to go make more
More love and more heartbreak
Leaving pieces of ourselves for people to take

Like the jewel at the heart
Of everything
Always whole
Yet always
Shattering

Your heart was made to break in two, in two, into
Into tiny little pieces made of you.
