Breaking Hearts Lyrics by Sam Smith

Love Goes (Japan Exclusive)

2020

[Verse 1]
You went cold, you got caught
You exceeded my darkest thoughts
A poisoned chalice, thorn in my side
I'm so numb from your lies

[Chorus]
While you were busy breakin' hearts
I was busy breakin'
I was giving all my love
You were busy takin'
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So, now it's busy breakin' (Ooh)
Now it's busy breakin', oh (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
Went so far down this road
I felt depression deep in my soul
Drug-fuelled fights, ride your lows and highs
We played it all out 'til we died

[Chorus]
Whilе you were busy breakin' hеarts
I was busy breakin'
I was giving all my love
You were busy takin'
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So, now it's busy breakin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
While you were busy breakin' hearts
I was busy breakin'
I was giving all my love
You were busy takin'
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
But I let you in my heart
Why'd I let you in my heart?
'Cause now it's busy breakin'
