Lyrics

Only Love Can Break Your Heart

When you were young
And on your own
How did it feel
To be alone?
I was always thinking
Of games that I was playing
Trying to make
The best of my time

But only love
Can break your heart
Try to be sure
Right from the start
Yes only love
Can break your heart
What if your world
Should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
Inside a dream
Someone should call him
And see if he can come out
Try to lose
The down that he's found

But only love
Can break your heart
Try to be sure
Right from the start
Yes only love
Can break your heart
And what if your world
Should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
Inside a dream
Yes, only love
Can break your heart
Yes, only love
Can break your heart

Yes, only love can break
Yes, only love can break
Yes, only love can break
Yes, only love can break
Yes, only love can break
Yes, only love can break...
