Only Love Can Break Your Heart
I Blame Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone ?
I was always thinking
Of game 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 yoyr heart
But 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 dwon that he's found.

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break yoyr heart
But if your world should fall apart ...

Yes, only love can break yoyr heart

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break yoyr heart
But if your world should fall apart ...

I was always thinking.
I was always thinking.

What if your world should fall apart...
