Miss Deconstruction she's got
A list of problems without
A way to solve them
No, she just can't work them out
Miss Deconstruction's got her
Past tense and paper and her
Worn down eraser
No, she just can't work it out

Heartbreak is hard to take oh
When you can't own your mistakes oh
God is good but for goodness sake
Love's a short way to go
But you know how to get there

Miss Deconstruction's got a
Chip on her shoulder I guess
Nobody told her
There's a way to work it out
Miss Deconstruction's got a
Pet contradiction, but she
Just keeps on missing
There's a way to work it out

Heartbreak is hard to take oh
When you can't own your mistakes oh
God is good but for goodness sake
Love's a short way to go
But you know how to get there

Forgive me if I'm wrong
And I go on and on about it
Forgive me if I'm wrong
I feel so strong about it
I might put too much hope in
That hearts get unbroken
Even if they seem too far gone
But I could be wrong

Heartbreak is hard to take oh
When you can't own your mistakes oh
God is good but for goodness sake
Love's a long way to go
But a short way to get there
