This is the sound that a picture makes
As it settles into a frame
This is the glance that a ticket takes
As you give it up on the train
This is not the way a heart breaks
It's the way it gets bent out of shape
This is not the way the earth shakes
It's the turning that turns to escape
And I don't know where we went
But I'm walking back alone
These are my steps pointed away from you
The footprints all muddled and confused
The things you've given me are running, too
Thumbs up, trying to hitchhike on your shoes
This is the dawning realization
And the sunlight is hurting my eyes
And this is the slowly sinking sensation
That the earth is on the rise
And I don't know where you went
But you moved on alone
This is not the way a heart breaks
It's just hurting to find a new shape
But my ground isn't made of earthquakes
It's just turning to help me escape
This is not the way a heart breaks
This is not the way a heart breaks...
