C#m           B             A
Shaking your head like it's all wrong
C#m            B                A
Before you're here you're already gone
F#m                C#m        B
And even with the light all around you
F#m         G#m          A
You're all alone in the dark


Chorus:
                          E
You're breaking your own heart
              G#m                A
Taking it too far down a lonely road
                       E
You say it's just one love
                      G#m                   A
But when it's close enough you just let it go
                      F#m             C#m
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
             E                 A
You've been doing it from the start
                   E   B A
Breaking your own heart

Too many tears, too many falls
It's easier here behind these walls
But you don't have to walk in the shadows
Where life is so hard

Chorus

You're breaking your own heart

C#m           B               A
It's not too late, I'm still right here
C#m      B               A
If only you'd let go of your fears

Chorus:
You're breaking your own heart
Taking your own heart down a lonely road
(Down a lonely road)
You say you just want love
But when it's close enough, you just let it go
(You just let it go, you just let it go)
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start
Breaking your own heart

You're breaking your own heart
