the broken heart is mine


Her friend came up to me,
Do you like Cheri?
She likes you,
You should like her too
What's a boy supposed to do?

We were just thirteen,
Do you know what I mean?
How could love even start?
I shut the locker door,
Shook my head, said no more
Ant that's when I broke her heart
It seems I leave behind broken hearts
Over and over again, one at a time
I'm always guilty of the crime
But the heart that breaks again is mine
Saw her there at school
and in youth group
fast Mustang
looked good in that thing
Top down, blonde hair blowing

Down by the creek
moonlight kisses so sweet
Was this where love would start?
I shut the car door,
Hung my head, said no more
Ant that's when I broke her heart
It seems I leave behind broken hearts
Over and over again, one at a time
I'm always guilty of the crime
But the heart that breaks again is mine
Got on the airplane,
Out of town again.
What goes on,
Every time that I'm gone?
Seems I'm gone way too long

But even when I'm there
There's anger in the air
That tears love apart
I walked to the door,
Shook my head, said no more
Ant that's when I broke her heart
It seems I leave behind broken hearts
Over and over again, one at a time
I'm always guilty of the crime
But the heart that breaks again is mine
