Lyrics: (i'm Not Mending) Broken Hearts

This ain’t meant to last for life
I’ll just have you on the side
So you’d better be on guard
I’m not mending broken hearts

I know the heart should speak but failure comes
And I’m afraid the damage is already done
Let’s go ahead, I’ll play my part
With pins and needles instead of a heart

You tell me what it tastes like
your slice of life
I’d like to listen sometimes
but not tonight

And if I only think of what you take me for
don’t wanna look myself in the eyes anymore
But I will play if you want me to
on account of me not a soul should be blue

How does it feel to be on
your side of the line
Don’t try to pull me over
I’m doing fine

This ain’t meant to last for life
I’ll just have you on the side
So you’d better be on guard
I’m not mending broken hearts

I don't know what to say
But there's a lot to do
And when the time is right
why don't we just get to it

The way the talk gets round
I wouldn't be surprised if you would think
I'm just another sly enchantress
playing with love to pass the time

Sometimes I try to tell where I’m bound
by spreading my souvenirs over the ground
But as from now I’m telling you
I don’t want anything that I could possibly loose

If I think of all those heartaches
why should I care?

This ain’t meant to last for life
I’ll just have you on the side
So you’d better be on guard
I’m not mending broken hearts

This ain’t meant to last for life
I’ll just have you on the side
So you’d better be on guard
I’m not mending broken hearts
