Break Your Heart

The bravest thing I've ever done Was to run away and hide. But not this time. Not this time. And the weakest thing I've ever done Was to stay right by your side. Just like this time And every time. I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone, So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart. I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on But I didn't mean to break your heart. And if I always seemed distracted, Like my mind is somewhere else, That's because it's true. Yes, it's true. It's this stupid pride that makes me feel Like I have to follow through, Even half-assedly, Loving you. Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice? When I guess I should have just come out and told you Right from the start. Oh oh why must I always tell you what I want is this? I guess 'cos I wouldn't want to break your heart. You said "What d'ya think that I was gonna do? Curl up and die just because of you? I'm not that weak you know. What d'ya think that I was gonna do? Try to make you love me as much as I love you? How could you be so low? You arrogant man. What do you think that I am? My heart will be fine. Just stop wasting my time!" And now I know that you will be ok And that I've got what I want, And that's rid of you. Bye. And it's not 'cos I'll be missing you That makes me fall apart. It's just that I didn't mean to break, No, I didn't mean to break. No, I didn't mean to break your heart. Your heart.

Oh, people down-cast in despair See the disillusion everywhere Hoping their bad luck will change It's a little harder everyday People struggle, people fight For the simple pleasures in their life The trouble comes from everywhere It's a little more than you can bear I know that it will hurt I know that it will break your heart The way things are The way they've been And the way they've always been People shallow, self-absorbed See them push and shove for their rewards When nothing else is on their minds You can read about it in their eyes People ruthless, people cruel The damage that some people do Full of hatred, full of pride It's enough to make you lose your mind I know that it will hurt I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been Yeah, I know that it will hurt (I know that it will hurt) I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been Don't spread the discontent Don't spread the lies Don't make the same mistakes With your own life You know it'll always come back Yeah, I know that it will hurt (I know that it will hurt) I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been Don't spread the discontent Don't spread the lies Don't make the same mistakes With your own life And don't disrespect yourself Don't lose your pride And don't think everybody's Gonna choose your side, oh no

When you were young and on your own How did it feel to be alone? I was always thinking of games that I was playing Trying to make the best of my time But only love can break your heart Try to be sure right from the start Yes, only love can break your heart What if your world should fall apart? I have a friend I've never seen He hides his head inside a dream Someone should call him and see if he can come out Try to lose the down that he's found But only love can break your heart Try to be sure right from the start Yes, only love can break your heart What if your world should fall apart? I have a friend I've never seen He hides his head inside a dream Yes, only love can break your heart Yes, only love can break your heart Yes, only love can break your heart Yes, only love can break your heart
