Engine running in the parking lot on Seventh Street Windshield wipers keeping time like they're nervous for me You turned the radio down and said, "Okay, so talk" I rehearsed it in the shower, but now I need it I forgot You've got your mother's laugh and your father's hands You learned my coffee order and won over all my friends And you've never once been cruel, you've never made me cry So how do I explain the thing I can't explain tonight? You said, "Is there someone else?" I said, "It's not like that" You said, "Then tell me what I did," I said, "You didn't," and you laughed Like that made it so much worse, like I'd kicked you when you're down And the rain got louder and I couldn't make a sound 'Cause you don't have a heart like mine It's good, it's kind, but it's set to a different time...Ohhh I'm dancing to a song you can't hear And I can't keep asking you to pretend that it's clear Compromise comes at much too high a price I can't love you halfway for the rest of my life Though its killing me to say this, I have to say goodby 'Cause you don't have a heart like mine Sunday mornings you like to sleep and I head out the door You call it "your thing," like a yoga class, like a chore I fold my hands at dinner, and you fold your arms And you smile at me politely, like I'm talking to the stars I tried to fit it in a corner, tried to keep it out of sight Tried to love you with the half of me that you could recognize But it's not a part of me, babe, it's the center of my life And I'm tired of making it smaller just to make us feel right You said, "So you're choosing that - over me?" I said, "No, I'm choosing not to slowly fall apart" And you hit the steering wheel... Then you said you're sorry And that's the thing... You're always quick to say I'm sorry But you don't have a heart like mine It's good, it's kind, but it's set to a different time...Ohhh I'm dancing to a song you can't hear And I can't keep asking you to pretend that it's clear Compromise comes at much too high a price I can't love you halfway for the rest of my life Though its killing me to say this, I have to say goodby 'Cause you don't have a heart like mine And I could stay, we'd make it work for a year or two I'd go alone on Sunday mornings, come home and smile at you And you'd be patient, you'd be kind, you'd never say a thing But someday our kids would ask why only half of us sing And I'd love you every day, but I'd lose a little more Of the girl you said you fell for, till I'm someone you don't know So I'd rather break it now,...here with the engine running Than break it slowly every Sunday morning You said, "So this is it?" I said, "This is it"... 'Cause you don't have a heart like mine And I won't make you fake one just to keep me by your side I'm dancing to a song you can't hear And I'll pray you hear it someday, even if I'm not there...Ohhh Compromise comes at much too high a price I can't love you halfway for the rest of my life Though its killing me to say this, I have to say goodby 'Cause you don't have a heart like mine You turned the radio back up I closed the door and walked inside (You don't have a heart like mine)...
