You Took Too Long To Break My Heart
©2008 Words and Music by Mark Petruzzi

Verse
Didn't you know you were the one by
The stupid things that I had done
Only when you were around me and...

I was trying to look smarter
Trying so much harder -to win you...
Not knowing I was trying to...

Verse
Didn't you know I was the one
Something new and something fun...at least...
Until another fun thing came along...

But it took too long this time
And we both know that’s why
I thought we had a chance, it's true.

Chorus
You see you took too long to break my heart
I dared to think we'd never be apart...and
You took too long, as my love grew
I lost the chance that I'd get over you…’cause
You took too long...Now it feels all wrong
To say goodbye...
You could never break my heart just right.

Verse
Even if your head denies
What the heart would pull to you
Does it mean it's true that
We aren't working

Or is it just your fear of life
That put you off this time
From having something that you've
Never had before...

Verse
...and if we agree it's done...
I'll say you're not the only one
For me and that I'll be all right...

But you took too long this time
And we both know that’s why
I thought we had a chance, it's true.

Chorus
You see you took too long to break my heart
I dared to think we'd never be apart...and
You took too long, as my love grew
I lost the chance that I'd get over you…’cause
You took too long...Now it feels all wrong
To say goodbye...
You could never break my heart just right.

Lead out
Oh Just another broken heart
Another love just falls apart
Before it gets too real
I'd like to say what's done is done
Let's move on to another love...
That's not the way I feel...
'cause you took too long...Now it feels all wrong
To say goodbye...
Guess, you could never break my heart just right.

Oh, who could break another's heart?
Who could break another's heart?
Who could break anotehr's heart just right?

You could never break my heart just right...
