Start Breaking My Heart

(album: Everybody's Crazy - 1985)

Everynight, I would lie awake
Alone in my bed
Think of you, then I'd cry myself
To sleep, that's what you said
You were so sure of yourself
By now I'd be out of my mind
So where is the madness
The pain and the sadness
You swore you'd be leaving behind

[Chorus:]
Start breaking my heart
Start bringing me down
Start breaking my heart
Like you said you'd do to me
Start breaking my heart
Tearing me apart, breaking my heart
Start breaking my heart

Looking back, you were good at digging
Into my soul
All the time, oh I should've understood
You just needed control
Finally you realized, how much you were
Fooling yourself
Ya thought you'd desert me
Thought you could hurt me
By leaving me for somebody else

[Chorus]

You're breaking your promise to me
You swore I'd be falling apart

[Chorus]

You've been gone girl, I don't even
Know how long
Come on and prove me wrong
You can start by breaking my heart
Breaking my heart, breaking my heart
