Lyrics
Broken Heart
Verse 1
Lets pretend,
that always,
and always you'll be mine.
Let us laugh,
For ever,
and ever, we'll be together
Chorus
But you can't change the way I feel.
A broken heart needs time to heal,
from you, from you.
Verse 2
Lets remember,
how close we were,
when we were just as one.
Then you changed,
you broke my heart,
tore it apart in two.
Chorus
And you can't change the way I feel.
A broken heart needs time to heal,
from you.
Bridge
As the days go by,
I start to cry,
but I can live without you.
Cause' suddenly,
I realized,
that day after day,
I wasted away,
there's more to my life than this.
(Chorus Reprise)
