There Goes My Heart
Seven Letters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

there goes my heart breaking in two
there goes my eyes crying over you
my arms don't want for us to part
so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart

you told me once we'd never part
that you loved me with all your heart

but now these words of love
you're going to erase
you've found somebody new
who wants to take my place

there goes my heart breaking in two
there goes my eyes crying over you
my arms don't want for us to part
so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart

I'm standing on a bridge that's burned
it's just a lonely lesson learned
to see you walk away with him hurts me so
this fool who loves you
doesn't want to let you go

there goes my heart breaking in two
there goes my eyes crying over you
my arms don't want for us to part
so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart

so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart ...
