Break My Heart
The Bundys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was lost when you looked at me
Love was just a memory
Then you grabbed my hand and you kissed me on the cheek
Ay, There was a time when I pulled away
You where too beautiful, why would you stay
It all was clear as I watched you walk away

Oh, I've been known to run
Before the damage could be done
Though I know it all will fall apart
Won't you please please please break my heart
Won't you please please please break my heart

I never let anyone break through
I'd been afraid of what they'd do
Maybe its better to have lost than to never love you

Oh, I've been known to run
Before the damage could be done
Though I know it all will fall apart
Won't you please please please break my heart
Won't you please please please break my heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You say you like the sound of the rain




Cause the world just fades away
Storms rollin' in and this time I think I'll stay
