When He Leaves You

I come here as a friend
Though I don't really know you
I know you're in love with him
And he's made your world brand new
I know you think he love you
And he may believe it too
But pour some coffee and I'll tell you
What you'll soon be going through.
When he leaves you
It's gonna more than break your heart
When he leaves you
It's gonna tear your world apart
You're gonna cry a million teardrops
One for every shattered dream
When he leaves you and comes back home to me.
I've known him all these years
Honey, this time's not the first time
I paid for loving him with tears
And when it's over he'll be mine
Oh I can see that I've upset you
Guess I'm a fool to try to help
But when it comes to hearts and heartaches
You've gotta find out for yourself.
'Cause when he leaves you
It's gonna more than break your heart
When he leaves you
It's gonna tear your world apart
You're gonna cry a million teardrops
One for every shattered dream
When he leaves you
And comes back home to me.
When he leaves you and comes back home to me
