Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Caused by you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love
She'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
Caused by you
Caused by you
Caused by you

My sister used to love this song when we were kids- she passed away in 1996 in a boat accident on her way back from High School graduation- I cry every time I listen to this song! Until we meet again my lovely sis Meg!
