[Verse 1]
Cut me down the middle
Fucked me up a little
You said I was your queen
I tried to give you everything
And now you want your freedom
You got just what you came for
A bit of fame and fortune
And I’m no longer needed

[Pre-Chorus]
You said it was over, wanted it to end
Then you had the nerve to say that we could still be friends
You had a few secrets I was never told
Now everyone's talking and I'm the last to know

[Chorus 1]
Now I'm in the middle of Heartbreak City (Heartbreak City)
'Cause I'm in the middle of a world not pretty (World not pretty)
Your clever game got the best of me (Best of me)
But you ain't gonna get the rest of me (Rest of me)
'Cause I'm in Heartbreak City

[Verse 2]
Tore me into pieces
Didn't have no damn reason
I let you in my house
You helped yourself to everything
And left me with your mess
I curse the day we met
The memory is haunting me
I wish I could forget

[Pre-Chorus]
You said it was over, wanted it to end
Then you had the nerve to say that we could still be friends
You had a few secrets I was never told
Now everyone's talking and I'm the last to know

[Chorus 2]
I'm in the middle of Heartbreak City (Heartbreak City)
Now I'm in the middle of a world not pretty (World not pretty)
Now I'm in the middle of heartbreak City (Heartbreak City)
'Cause I'm in the middle of a world not pretty (World not pretty)
Your clever game got the best of me (Best of me)
But you ain't gonna get the rest of me (Rest of me)
'Cause I'm in Heartbreak City

[Outro]
And it's not that pretty
And I still feel shitty
