[Verse 1]
You left your name
On my front step
Cold coffee ring
On the porch rail
You took the watch
I wore on dates
Said keep it safe
Then kept the gate
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it's love
But it cuts like glass
You hold my hand
Then you let it pass
I see your smile
And I know the cost
You take, you take
Then you leave me lost
[Chorus]
Heartless lover
Heartless lover
Why you stay so close?
Heartless lover
Heartless lover
You break what you hold
[Verse 2]
Black umbrella
By the back door
Two train tickets
That we can't use no more
Your perfume lingers
On my denim sleeve
Like a warning sign
I should've learned to read
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it's love
But it cuts like glass
You hold my hand
Then you let it pass
I see your smile
And I know the cost
You take, you take
Then you leave me lost
[Chorus]
Heartless lover
Heartless lover
Why you stay so close?
Heartless lover
Heartless lover
You break what you hold
[Bridge]
Maybe you were
Never built for care
Only for the thrill
Of what's not there
I won't beg now
I won't chase your shade
If you want my heart
Then say it straight
[Chorus]
Heartless lover
Heartless lover
Why you stay so close?
Heartless lover
Heartless lover
You break what you hold
