Lyrics
ONE MILLION PIECES
Babe I'm all alone tonight
Playing my guitar, thinking of you
Since you went away, I've been so lost
Not knowing what to do
Did you break my heart cos we couldn't get along
(I'm hurting babe)
Or did you break my heart cos I stayed around too long
(Still hurting babe)
Won't you tell me please, what I've done wrong
To make you end our love I thought was still strong
Or did you break my heart so I could write a Hit Song
Chorus
One million pieces are all that remains of my heart
One million pieces are all I have left
Of a heart that once shared love with you
Did you break my heart cos I couldn't give enough
(Couldn' t give enough, all I had was love)
Or did you break my heart cos I love you far too much
(Always felt the same, that will never change)
Did you break my heart cos you didn't care
That the pain I'd feel is more than I can bear
Or did you break my heart so I could write a hit song
Chorus
One million pieces, baby it's the truth
One million pieces of a heart that still loves you
One million pieces are all I have left
Of a heart that once shared love with you
Did you break my heart cos you didn't care
(I'm hurting babe)
That the pain I'd feel is more than I can care
(Still hurting babe)
Or did you break my heart so I could write this song
