When a man breaks a woman's heart
She goes into a deeper place
To a pain no man could face
Like blood upon a shattered vase
A perfect work of art
When a man breaks a woman's heart
When a man tells a woman lies
She'll hold the truth and try to cope
As a noose of jagged rope
Slipped around her last best hope
With every tear she cries
When a man tells a woman lies
Nothin's ever quite the same
Tangled in a ruthless game
Shifting eyes and shiftin' blame
To points of no return
Watch the stars without fail
If you don't think you leave a trail
That circles ‘round to tell the tale
Ways that you will learn
When a man wounds a woman's trust
No matter how he hurts or loves
No matter what he is or was
No word he says or ever does
Will ever be enough
To win back a woman's trust
There's nothing in your bag of tricks
To change what even God can't fix
You try for love but nothing sticks
It's not your hand to deal
Staring through the iron bars
Of fading night and dying stars
You finally come to see the scars
Of wounds that never heal
When a man breaks a woman's heart
I have come now to believe
It's only you that you deceive
With no mercy, no reprieve
It takes the better part
Of a damaged heart
When a man takes
When a man breaks
A woman's heart
