shot down in flames crashed and burned
paid the price in lessons learned
took a turn – turn for the worse
now I'm free as a bird

praying that our love survives
I may not get out alive
had the final say
I'm not smiling anyway

it's a blueprint for a broken heart
blame it on my foolish pride
blueprint for a broken heart
I'm gonna run and hide
it's a blueprint for a broken heart
blame it on my selfish side
blueprint for a broken heart
feels like I could die

a total wreck the tears they blind
the twisted metal of my mind
had to do things my own way
now I'm on my own today

hoping that our love is sound
your kiss of life would bring me round
had the final word
my laughter is seldom heard

it's a blueprint for a broken heart
blame it on my foolish pride
blueprint for a broken heart
I'm gonna run and hide
it's a blueprint for a broken heart
blame it on my selfish side
blueprint for a broken heart
feels like I could die

when I went wrong the world carried on
without me without we too
but I would not last very long
without you baby without you

it's a blueprint for a broken heart
blame it on my foolish pride
blueprint for a broken heart
I'm gonna run and hide
blueprint for a broken heart
blame it on my selfish side
blueprint for a broken heart
yeah feels like I could die
it's a blueprint for a broken heart
… it's blueprint – blueprint for a broken heart
blueprint for a broken heart
