If a Heart Must Be Broken
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.
For you, my heart was always open
But you walked out and this loneliness came in
What I'd give to know the future now and then
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin
For you a treasure became a token
I lost it all for a love that might have been
What I'd give to know the future now and then
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin
They say the heart sometimes will cloud the mind
And nothing stands to reason when a love is blind
But the truth is always harder in the end
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin
What I'd give to know the future now and then
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin
