I Wish Hearts Would Break

He
Was a giant
Swung a heavy hammer
In the bottom of a mine
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
Oh I
Wish hearts would break
It wouldn't be quite what do
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
