We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters—
Trust me, mine is better
We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Come on, come along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
To get knocked off our feet
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free
We hang back, it's all in the timing
It's poker, he can't see it in my face
But I'm about to play my Ace
We team up then switch sides like a record changer
The rumors are terrible and cruel
But, honey, most of them are true
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Come on, come along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
To get knocked off our feet
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free
The best people in life are free
Please take me dancing and
Please leave me stranded,
It's so romantic
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Come on, come along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
To get knocked off our feet
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free
