If you had a heart
You wouldnt' be breaking mine
If you really cared
You wouldn't be so unkind
You run around all over town
And feed me alibis
If you had a heart
You wouldn't be breaking mine
If I could make you see how much
You're hurting me it's killing me
I wonder if you'd ever change at all
When I try to sleep
I see you with someone new
I can't help but wonder if
You're holding her, loving her
If you had a heart
You wouldnt' be breaking mine
If you really cared
You wouldn't be so unkind
You run around all over town
And feed me alibis
If you had a heart
You wouldn't be breaking mine
You're not giving me
Enough to keep me hanging on
What I really need
Is you here holding me
