With every look
With every word
My heart just keeps breaking itself
It was no one's fault
No malignant intent
My Heart just keeps breaking itself
With so much to give
I end up with so little
My heart just keeps breaking itself
With a big heart
with so much caring
My heart just keeps breaking itself.
I look at her

and I wish

that

My heart would stop breaking itself.
