A Heart Will Break

(album: I'm No Hero - 1980)

I'm better off without you
I'm better off you know
We're nothing more than strangers
With nowhere else to go
But like a fool I'll stay by your side
Knowing that you won't believe me
When I say I've tried

A heart will break tonight
Make no mistake I'll lie awake tonight
A heart will break and I won't feel the same
'cos you stay just the same as you are
And a heart will break tonight

We made no commitment
We made only words
It's no consolation that we're free like the birds
'cos who needs to fly like they do

There's only one reason I'm staying
It's 'cos I love you...I do

A heart will break tonight
Make no mistake I'll lie awake tonight
A heart will break and I won't feel the same
'cos you stay just the same as you are
And a heart will break tonight

A heart will break tonight
Make no mistake I'll lie awake tonight
A heart will break and I won't feel the same
'cos you stay just the same as you are
And a heart will break tonight
Tonight it's gonna break
Don't know if I'll make it
Thru' the night...oh oh oh oh...
