[Verse 1]
The world is a marble heart
Too fragile, too broken
Left without nothing but our bags to hold on to
Yeah out in the daylight
And out of the jungle
We could have been, we should have been
What your heart couldn't handle

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel like I need, to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!

[Chorus]
(My oh my) I'm going right now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah-waa-ooh
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart

[Verse2]
The world is a marble heart;
It's bullshit and we know it
Like a flower sheltered in stone
With no chance of re-growing
Like push comes to shove
Like I'm out on your doorstep
We could have been, we should have been
With only my soul left

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel like I need,(woah) to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!

[Chorus]
(My oh my) I'm going right now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah- waa -ooh
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart

[Turntablism]
(H-heart h-heart)
Now you can't go breaking my heart (h-heart h-heart)
Now you can't go breaking my heart, ooh
(Bre-bre-bre) breaking my heart
And now you, now you can't go breaking
Now you can't go breaking my heart

[Bridge]
Feel like I need, to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't...

[Chorus]
Now you can't go breaking my heart
(My oh my) I'm going back now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
