HEARTS GET BROKEN

Words and music by Winston Apple

You still had tears in your eyes
Your heart was still in pieces
You were still hoping that he would come back when we met
It didn't take you long to forget
'bout the pain that love can bring
You gave me all your love and I broke your heart

Oh, and I hope you know
I didn't want to break your heart
I didn't mean to hurt you
But I couldn't help myself
The heart wants what it wants
Where it leads we are destined to follow
The pull of love and desire led me to someone else
And she doesn't love me, as much as you love me  (Hearts get broken)

I saw the tears in your eyes
I heard the pain in your voice
I heard you begging me not to go, but I left
It didn't take me long to forget
'bout the pain that love can bring
I gave her all my love and she broke my heart

Yes, and I guess I know
She didn't want to break my heart
She didn't mean to hurt me
But she, she couldn't help herself
The heart wants what it wants
Where it leads we are destined to follow
The pull of love and desire led her to someone else
And he doesn't love her as much as I love her

So the tables go right on turning
Love's lessons are never learned
The heart wants what it wants
We can't seem to help ourselves
So the tears keep on flowing
Hearts go right on getting broken
And all of us go right on hoping
That we'll find true love someday
You paid the price for loving me
I paid the price for loving her
It seems that there's always a price to be paid
I wish that she loved me as much as you love me

We dry the tears from our eyes, we try to pick up the pieces
Our dreams of perfect love seldom come true
