Road is wide open,
I have no doubt you can make it with you by my side,
Enough's enough - time spent, instead, catching up or running ahead.

Life on a shoestring and love on a prayer,
But once in a heartbreak, you know I'll be there,
Searching for pieces that fell everywhere,
Once in a heartbreak, you know I'll be there.

(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak,
(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak.

Lord of my desires, you'd never play me the puppet while pulling the wires,
What a price: freedom to choose,
Throw the dice, but sometimes I lose.

Life on a shoestring and love on a prayer,
But once in a heartbreak, you know I'll be there,
Searching for pieces that fell everywhere,
Once in a heartbreak, you know I'll be there.

(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak,
(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak.

When all is said and done: if I should fall, Jesus, you're still the one on whom I call.

Life on a shoestring and love on a prayer,
But once in a heartbreak, I know you'll be there,
Holding the pieces that fell everywhere,
Once in a heartbreak, I know you'll be there,
Life on a shoestring and love on a prayer,
But once in a heartbreak, I know you'll be there,
Holding the pieces that fell everywhere,
Once in a heartbreak, I know you'll be there.

(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak,
(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak,
(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak,
(Once in a heartbreak)
Every once in a heartbreak,
