SONG:I Wish Hearts Would Break

(tony arata)
He was a giant
swung a heavy hammer in the bottom of a mine
but he always came up smiling, a light within his eyes
now there is a skeleton that i don't recognize
but it is not the coal that has him fading fast
it's a love gone forever that he thought would last
that he can't get past
I wish hearts would break
it wouldn't be quite such a beating to take
why don't they give in
instead of coming back over and over again
oh i wish hearts would break
She was an angel
arms open wide, never met a stranger
now she withdraws at the slightest touch
like an animal that's beaten one time too much
but it was not an angry hand that hurt her so
it was a gentle one that she used to hold
that let her go
I wish hearts would break
it wouldn't be quite such a beating to take
why don't they give in
instead of coming back over and over again
oh i wish hearts would break
I wish hearts would break
it wouldn't be quite such a beating to take
why don't they give in
instead of coming back over and over again
oh i wish hearts would break
