The highest note on the highest string Of an old Australian violin Brushes the grasses and slips through the dark 'Til it finally settles into my brand-new heart I know you can hear me although you cannot see me All my life you've been there. All your life I've been here That was the year that my heart broke I guess somebody misspoke It was my heart that broke Can't find the words to describe how bad it feels It's so absurd to be the third wheel In this haunted house or on this stupid bike That's not the kind of guy that you're supposed to like I know that you can hear me although you are not near me All my life you've been there. All your life I've been here That was the year that my heart broke They say the first time you choke It was my heart that broke If I could hypnotize you, I would take advantage of the moment That I had control Instead I agonize and do my best to manage on my own I've no control over anything in my life Did they all know from the start That you were born with a desperate heart No one told me, there was no secret revealed I spent the night imagining you were out there in our field I know that you can hear me although you are not near me All your life I'll be here. All my life you'll be there. That was the year that my heart broke Maybe I'll always be the joke It was my heart that broke All your life I'll be here. All my life you'll be there That was the year that my heart broke I guess somebody misspoke It was my heart that broke
