That's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how you know

When my heart first broke I was just nineteen
And I let that guy break my self-esteem
And I cried to my dad as he just held me
He said, ohh-oh that's how, that's how you know-ow
I wrote a couple songs as an angsty teen
And I prayed to the lord he would hurt like me
But I talked to my friends, they all said the same thing
They said, ooh-oh that's how, that's how you know-ow

That if your heart got bruised
Thank God you're living
'Cause the healing comes soon, healing comes soon
And if your heart still hurts
That means you're human
And the healing comes soon, healing comes soon

That's how, that's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how, that's how you know
That you loved him, you'll love again
That's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how you

A couple years passed, I can leave a [?]
And I met a couple guys but they aren't my cup of tea
So I pour myself a glass and I toast to me
I say, oh-oh that's how, that's how you know-ow

That if your heart got bruised
Thank God you're living
'Cause the healing comes soon, healing comes soon
And if your heart still hurts
That means you're human
And the healing comes soon, healing comes soon

That if your heart got bruised
Thank God you're living
'Cause the healing comes soon, healing comes soon
And if your heart still hurts
That means you're human
And the healing comes soon, healing comes soon

That's how, that's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how, that's how you know
That you loved him, you'll love again

Someday when I meet the other half of me
He'll tell me 'bout the girl that broke his heart at nineteen
How his momma held him like my dad held me
And they said, oh-oh that's how, that's how you know-ow

That's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how you know
That's how, that's how you know
