Story Behind The Song
I like to think that the action taken in this song not only deals with a come-on and a rejection, but reflects a period of growth caused by the heartbreak
In a new place of self-reliance, singer directs her response to his advance in the only way she can to save herself from more pain.
I say, "Bravo."
Song Description
Healing has not happened, despite a long interval following loving this man
Though she still feels the love from the relationship, singer refuses to permit him access to her heart again
Relying on her own strength,
she rejects his comeback.

Lyrics
YOU CAN'T BREAK MY HEART AGAIN
You were so cruel, you broke my heart
Now you tell me you were wrong from the start
Well, I'm sorry my friend
But this is the end
And you can't break my heart again
All that you left were tears in my eyes
Now you come back with more of your lies
Well, don't try to pretend
I know what you intend
And you can't break my heart again
When I met you, I thought you were the man for me
You promised that our love would last eternally
You cheated, you lied, you tricked and you schemed
Well, I thought you'd be true
Oh, but that was just a dream
And now that my eyes have had time to dry
I'll laugh at you, I won't cry
Well, I'm sorry my friend
But my heart's had time to mend
And you can't break my heart again
I'm telling you now
You can't break my heart again
Never again
You can't break my heart
Again
