Break Your Heart lyrics

People downcast, is despair

See the disillusion everywhere

Hoping their bad luck will change

Gets a little harder every day

People struggle, people fight

For the simple pleasures in their lives

But trouble comes from everywhere

It's a little more than you can bear

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

And the way they've always been

People shallow, self-absorbed

See the push and shove for their rewards

I, me, my is on their minds

You can read about it in their eyes

People ruthless, people cruel

See the damage that some people do

Full of hatred, full of pride

It's enough to make you loose your mind

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

Don't spread the discontent

Don't spread the lies

Don't make the same mistakes

With your own life

You never will let love survive

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

Don't spread the discontent

Don't spread the lies

Don't make the same mistakes

With your own life

Don't disrespect yourself

Don't loose your pride

And don't think that

Everybody's gonna choose your side
