You opened doors

And reached for love

They close again

Did you get enough?



How long did we take

From heartbreak to hate

From heartbreak to hate?



You opened up expecting a fairy tale

That's a bad idea

I stumbled in a mumbling wreck

With nothing clear

Four sheets to the wind

They were after my skin

They were sniping for me

I was dead unlucky



How long did we take

From heartbreak to hate

From heartbreak to hate?



Heartbreak to hate

Heartbreak to hate



How long before I make sense of this?

How long before I forget your kiss?

How long did we take from heartbreak to hate?

From heartbreak to hate



Operator, the lines are dead

Ringmaster, the lions are fed

Your Honor, you know I was framed

Surounded in this stupid game



But you wanted love

You held on hard

Couldn't give it up



Now baby stands alone tonight

Baby grasps for the love he might

Rejected, dejected

Let down on everything he expected



How long did you take

From heartbreak to hate

From heartbreak to hate?



Heartbreak to hate

How long from heartbreak to hate

Heartbreak to hate



Neither way

And either way

Either way

And neither way

Do we get away
