Lyrics

Only Love Can Break Your Heart

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 were young

And on

Your own,

How did it feel

To be

Alone?

I was always thinking,

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,

But if your world

Should fall

Apart...

I have a friend

I've nev- -er seen

He hides his head

Inside

A dream

Someone should call him

And see if he can come out,

Try to lose the gang 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,

But if your world

Should fall

Apart...

I was always thinking,

I was always thinking.

I was always thinking,

I was always thinking.

I was always thinking,

I was always thinking.

I was always thinking.

I was always thinking,

Games that I was playing.

I was always thinking,

Games that I was playing.

I was always thinking,

I was always thinking.

I was always thinking,

I was always thinking.

I - / I - / I - / I - /

I was always thinking,

Games that I was playing.

I was always thinking,

Games that I was playing.

I was always thinking,

Games that I was playing.

I was always thinking,

Games that I was playing.
