[Verse 1]
Staring at the background, a heartland sky
Smoke from the mill stack turnin’ that blue white
Right here was our first time, on the hood of my car
Now it’s just a spot where I wonder where you are

[Chorus]
People break, people try, things happen, people cry
Someone leaves, love dies, someone changes their mind
Baby, I get it, I really do
But now I gotta go and do the hardest part
Break the news to a broken hеart

[Verse 2]
The ice on Hawk Lake this timе of year
Broken and busted, just like my bathroom mirror
So hard to see what lies there beneath
Shattered reflections like the pieces of me

[Chorus]
People break, people try, things happen, people cry
Someone leaves, love dies, someone changes their mind
Baby, I get it, I really do
But now I gotta go and do the hardest part
Break the news to a broken heart
[Bridge]
And where I’m going now, man, I don’t really know
This truck felt hungry and she’s chewing up this road
Starin' through a windshield, same heartland sky
But it’s a broken heartland tonight
It’s a broken heartland tonight

[Outro]
Staring at the background, a heartland sky
People break, people break
