Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't if I tried
Oh honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
So don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Oh honey when you knock on my door
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
Gave you my heart
Gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Oh yeah
Don't go breaking my heart
And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us baby
I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh you put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
