They used to say that boys are tough as nails
|
In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail
|
Now things have changed, I feel so old
|
Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals
|
|
I was always there in the thick of things
|
I always had the heart of every woman on a string
|
The danger zone shone from my eyes
|
It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile
|
|
It's not the night reaching in and touching me
|
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
|
It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me
|
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
|
|
It's not the light shining in and catching me
|
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
|
But time has come and cast a spell on me
|
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
|
|
And now I know what lonely means
|
I used to give so little and gain everything
|
The darkest part of every day
|
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away
|
|
Can't say I blame them all for being hurt
|
After all I treated each and every one like dirt
|
Who wants a heart that's never home
|
I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone
|
