Heartbreaker lyrics

I got to say it and it's hard for me

You got me crying like I thought I would never be

Love is believing, but you let me down

How can I love you when you ain't around

And I get to the morning and you never call

Love should be everything or not at all

And it don't matter whatever you do

I made a life out of loving you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying

I'm crying in the rain

I could be searching my world for a love everlasting

Feeling no pain

When will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker

Is it a lesson that I never knew

Got to get out of the spell that I'm under

My love for you

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?

When I was being what you want me to be

Suddenly, everything I ever wanted

Has passed me by

This world may end

Not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe

My soul is crying for you and that cannot be reversed

You made the rules and you could not see

You made a life out of hurting me

Out of my mind, I am held by the power of you, love

Tell me when do we try

Or should we say goodbye

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?

When I was being what you want me to be

Suddenly, everything I ever wanted

Has passed me by

Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?

Is it a lesson that I never knew

Suddenly, everything I ever wanted

My love for you

Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?

When I was being what you want me to be

Suddenly everything I ever wanted

Has passed me by

Tell me, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
