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
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
