A Heart Needs a Break

You know if you call, I don't have a prayer

It won't be long 'til I end up over there

On your street, at your door, in your arms

In your eyes, in your lies, that fade with sunrise

Girl I need you like a heart needs a break

Girl I want you even if you're bad for me

Girl I need you like the Earth needs a quake

Yeah, I need you like a heart

Like a heart needs a break

Tell a lie, I'll believe you

Make it sound like you really mean it

Doesn't matter 'cause I still need you

Like a heart needs a break

You're the best mistake that I'm falling in

I can never wait to make that same mistake again

On your lips, with your touch, in your world

And you're wet in your bed, sayin' things you already said

Girl I need you like a heart needs a break

Girl I want you even if you're bad for me

Girl I need you like the Earth needs a quake

Yeah, I need you like a heart

Like a heart needs a break

Tell a lie, I'll believe you

Make it sound like you really mean it

Doesn't matter 'cause I still need you

Like a heart needs a break

Will I get hurt? You gotta have it

Get me high, but then I'm goin' down fast

You can't fight it, I keep burnin' out

But I like it

Girl I need you like a heart needs a break

Girl I want you even if you're bad for me

Girl I need you like the Earth needs a quake

Yeah, I need you like a heart

Like a heart needs a break

Tell a lie, I'll believe you

Make it sound like you really mean it

Doesn't matter 'cause I still need you

Like a heart needs a break
