You went cold
You got caught
You exceeded my darkest thoughts
A poisoned chalice found in my side
I'm so numb from your lies
While you were busy breaking hearts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So, now it's busy breaking
Now it's busy breaking, oh
Went so far down this road
I felt depression deep in my soul
Drug-fuelled fights, ride your lows and highs
We played it all out 'til we died
Whilе you were busy breaking hеarts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So now it's busy breaking
While you were busy breaking hearts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
But I let you in my heart
Why'd I let you in my heart?
'Cause now it's busy breaking
