The first time I met you
I was so young
Didn't realize I'd have to choose
Between you and love
I was seventeen
You were kind
I was so blind
To see that you weren't right for me
This is what they call
The heartbreak avenue
I used to be ten feet tall
Before I met you
Now I'm on heartbreak avenue
Twelve months later I fell in
The same patterns I had back then
You promised me you'd never leave
Then you went and lied to me
Breaking everything
This is what they call
The heartbreak avenue
I used to be ten feet tall
Before I met you
Now I'm on heartbreak avenue
Because of you
Blame it on my naive heart
For giving you the benefit of the doubt
If only I knew then what I know now
You threw me out
And I don't know where to start
You keep coming back
Breaking the heart of an innocent
Again
This is what they call
The heartbreak avenue
I used to be ten feet tall
Before I met you
Now I'm on heartbreak avenue
The first time I met you
I was so young
Didn't realize I'd have to choose
Between you and love
I was nineteen
You were kind
But I was so blind
To see that you weren't right for me
