verse 1
You found a new friend
When were you planning on telling me?
No, that's not fair
Now I'm an asshole for asking, I'm sorry
And I started drinking like you did when you were nineteen
When you first moved to the city with a fake ID
Crushing bags of things like it's halloween
Another native kid
Akin to scattered leaves
In a place where the wild and more mild-mannered agree
Chorus
How many times can the human heart break?
Before it feels forced, before it feels fake?
How many times can you get what you want?
Just to throw it away
Throw it away
verse 2
And now I spend all my nights in the bars with the neon hues
Every face here reminds me of you
And I keep falling so far out of tune
And I've been out dancing with kick drums and hotel rooms
And I always want just a little more
As if I don't recall what I've seen before
For an all night drive to some distant shore
To a place where the weather will wash me and make me feel pure
Chorus
How many times can the human heart break?
Before it feels forced, before it feels fake?
How many times can you get what you want?
Just to throw it away
Throw it away
Outro
Just to throw it away
Throw it away
