[Verse 1]
We stood in an empty house
With bottles in our hands against the wall
On the last night of the year
The lights slowly started to fall

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you say, "This could happen for a reason"
How can you not have any faith
The beauty that surrounds us
It didn’t happen by mistake

[Chorus]
In the heart of the city
Good hearts will break
Is this a test to see
How much we can take?

[Verse 2]
You say you say that there’s an explanation
Oh, but it’s hard to see
I look to find salvation
In something more concrete

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Because if, for the final destination
Is there either way
But should I receive an invitation
When it calls my name
[Chorus]
In the heart of the city
Good hearts will break
Is this a test to see
How much we can take?

[Bridge]
In the heart of the city
My heart will break
Is this a test to see
How much I can take?

[Chorus]
In the heart of the city
Good hearts will break
Is this a test to see
How much we can take?
