Heartbreak School Lyrics by James Bonamy

What I Live to Do

0

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about my alma mater
I got educated by a rich man's daughter
I didn't have to read a single book
One lesson is all it took
My diploma reads "First Class Fool"
I graduated from Heartbreak School
[Verse 2]
They don't teach science, they don't teach math
"Our Love is History" is your only class
You do your homework every lonely night
Study memories 'til the morning light
"Forget about her" is the golden rule
That's what they teach you in Heartbreak School
[Bridge]
You don't get recess, you don't get lunch
You don't get vacation when summertime comes
You don't get in 'cause they think your smart
You pay tuition with your broken heart
[Verse 3]
Well, I learned to cry, I learned to moan
I learned I hate to spend my nights alone
I studied hard on how do I forget you
Then I wrote a speech on wish I'd never met you
I got accepted to Who Needs U
I was the valedictorian at Heartbreak school
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
You don't get recess, you don't get lunch
You don't get vacation when summertime comes
You don't get in 'cause they think your smart
You pay tuition with your broken heart
[Verse 3]
So come enroll if you've been mistreated
Get extra credit if your baby's cheated
All you need are tears and misery
To start working toward your Ph.D
Everybody past the age of two
Gets educated at Heartbreak School
[Outro]
If you're in love with someone who don't love you
Well, you're an honor student at Heartbreak School
You'll never find yourself a love that's true
Until you've graduated from Heartbreak School
