Just another Sunday evening
I was passing down the hall
And caught a glimpse
Of the man I used to know
He once held my heart
In the palm of his hand
But this is now, whoa-whoa
And that was then

I feel her eyes
As she watches over me
And I hear the words
I can't bring myself to speak
How did this happen
Someone tell me what went wrong
You're right here
But I feel so alone

Chorus:
Tell me how do you stop
This old world from spinning round
Tell me how do you keep
The autumn leaves
From touching ground
Oh and how do I just walk away
And tear your world apart
Tell me how do I break your heart?
Tell me how

Lying in our bed, facing the wall with empty arms
That's the shame of it all, I don't know where it went
I only know it's gone and that I'm living
In a house that ain't my home

Chorus:
Tell me how do you stop
This old world from spinning round
Tell me how do you keep
The autumn leaves
From touching ground
Oh and how do I just walk away
And tear your world apart
Tell me how do I break your heart?
Tell me how

I've packed my bags
And I'm leaving
When she comes home
She'll find me gone
Oh and how do I
Just walk away
And tear your world apart
Tell me how do I
Break your heart
Tell me how do I
Break your heart
Tell me how do I
Break your heart
Tell me how
