J. Young Lyrics

I'm gonna break your heart
I will cause you emotional pain

You never had a choice
You couldn't prevent me from hurting you

I'm too in love with you to write you well
My strong feelings of love for you make it hard for me to write about you accurately

I hope this song will help you choose
I hope this song will guide you in making a decision

To carry on and on
To persist and continue moving forward

After the hate has melted and the grieving part is gone
After the anger and sadness have dissipated

I saw a light in you that
I saw a special quality in you that

Winds do not blow out
Is resilient and cannot be diminished

I'll miss the spark in your eyes
I will miss the special quality I saw in your eyes

When I blow it out
When I end the relationship and the quality fades away

It takes a girl who sings like me
It takes someone like me to understand

To make you miss the dark
To make you miss the sadness

But next time when I see you
If we meet again in the future

If there's next time don't give up
Don't lose hope

I never was the right one
I was never the perfect match for you

There's no right one in the sky
There's no perfect partner out there waiting for you

But you keep doing you
But keep being true to yourself

You will be ready when she cries
You will be emotionally prepared to comfort her when she needs you

We had a magic summer
We had a wonderful and memorable time together

I don't question that
That fact is not up for debate

But if I'm being honest I had never asked for that
But to honestly admit, I never wanted that

Here you are
And now you are here

A good mistake my hands will never keep
A positive experience that cannot be repeated

Do you recall at the very start
Do you remember what I said at the beginning

I said I think, I'm gonna break your heart?
I warned you that I might hurt you emotionally
