Breaking Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you turned and you walked through that door
You hurt me so
You hurt me so
When you looked at me and you said goodbye
You made me cry
You made me cry
So listen to me while I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do
Breaking up is hard to do
I cannot let you go now 'cause my love is strong
My love is so strong
My love is so strong
So listen to me while I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do
Breaking up is hard to do
When you looked at me and you said goodbye
You made me cry
You made me cry
I cannot let you go now 'cause my love is strong
My love is so strong
and if you leave me I will surely die
So listen to me while I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do
Breaking up is hard to do
