[Verse 1]
Do you mean all the things you are?
Are you pleased with the way things are?
Wear that dress to protect this scar
That only I have seen

[Verse 2]
Do you give just to please yourself?
Do you wish you were somewhere else?
Justified all the things you tried
Said that it was all for me

[Chorus]
And be near
Just for the moment
Stay here
Never go home
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes, the story of a broken heart comes true
It comes true

[Verse 3]
Have you learned all the secrets yet?
Will you burn by the things I've said?
Took the dive just to feel alive
But never heard the truth
Now I'm in love but I don't know how
I'm in pain cause I want it now
As I sit watching her eyes close
I slowly open mine

[Chorus]
And be near
Just for the moment
Stay here
Never go home
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes, the story of a broken heart comes true
It comes true

[Verse 4]
I am so confused by this
I know that life is hit or miss
Days are stung by too much sun
I think that you may be the one

[Verse 5]
Cover yourself up in me
Shrouded in what could have been
I will listen to your pain
If you listen to me

[Verse 6]
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you
So it goes, as the story of a broken heart comes true
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you
And I know, the story of a broken heart comes True
Come true
True
It comes true
True

Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band. They were originally formed in 1994 as Kara’s Flowers while they were still attending high school. They signed to Reprise Records and released an album, The Fourth World, in 1997. After a mediocre response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college, but in 2001, the band regrouped, added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5.

Their first big hit came in the form of “Harder to Breathe,” the edgier lead single from their debut, Songs About Jane. The continued success of that song and other singles “This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” and “Sunday Morning” cemented the quintet as a pop-rock band to keep an eye out for.

However, for their second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, they switched to ambing up on slick pop production—and it worked for them. Lead single “Makes Me Wonder” jumped 63 places in one week to reach number one, becoming their first ever #1 single.
