Down the Middle

[Verse 1]
Never seen this side of the canyon
I've never felt this valley in my soul
And God knows this ain't how I planned it, but it happened
And I wish I knew how to let you go

[Chorus]
Say what you want about what used to be
Don't try to let me down easily
This goodbye, it might set you free
But what's better for you ain't better for me
It's gonna hurt like hell (And you'll hurt just a little)
Hearts don't break down the middle

[Verse 2]
Now I'm left to pick up all the pieces
For you, it's just the turning of the page
And I'll make up a million differеnt reasons and believе them
Spend all night on why you couldn't stay

[Chorus]
Say what you want about what used to be
Don't try to let me down easily
This goodbye, it might set you free
But what's better for you ain't better for me
It's gonna hurt like hell (And you'll hurt just a little)
Hearts don't break down the middle
Oh

[Bridge]
So no matter how hard you try
You can't tear a picture in a straight line
I guess I'll be the one on the dark side this time
Hearts don't break down the middle
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
So say what you want about what used to be
Don't try to let me down easily
This goodbye, it might set you free
But what's better for you ain't better for me
It's gonna hurt like hell (And you'll hurt just a little)
Oh, hearts don't break down the middle
(Break down the middle)
Mmm

[Outro]
Hearts don't break down the middle
