paroles de chanson I Wish Hearts Would Break - Suzy Bogguss

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 is 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

--- Instrumental ---

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...
