It hurts and I don't know why
Was it something I did?
Along the ride, in another life
Is there something I missed?

The generation's up in smoke
We look like kids but feel like ghosts
Just try and try to feel alive
Ooh-ooh, it's a tale as old as time

Ooh-ooh, looking for something you just can't find
'Cause long ago, one heart broke
Then broke a couple more
And before you know, it got too close

And the heart that broke was yours
But that's how it goes
'Cause hearts break like dominoes, oh
Break like dominoes, oh

They break like dominoes
It's hard to like myself when I
Don't know how to do it
Been flying blind for all my life
Try to stumble through it

There's no instructions here on earth
You've got to touch the stove to know it burns
But it's only fire, it'll be alright
Ooh-ooh, it's a tale as old as time

Ooh-ooh, looking for something you just can't find
'Cause long ago, one heart broke
Then broke a couple more
And before you know, it got too close

And the heart that broke was yours
But that's how it goes
'Cause hearts break like dominoes, oh
Break like dominoes, oh

They break like dominoes
I fall, you fall, we all fall down
I fall, you fall down
I fall, you fall, we all fall down
I fall, you fall down

But that's how it goes
'Cause hearts break like dominoes, oh
Break like dominoes, oh
They break like dominoes
