The Breaking of My Heart

She stared into her coffee cup; I could tell there was something wrong
I thought I knew her pretty well; I’ve loved her for so long
But when she looked at me I could see, that her eyes were filled with tears
And then she spoke, and I almost choked, I just couldn't believe my ears

She said “This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do"
"But I just can't hide it anymore, I've found someone new"
Then something deep inside me died as my whole world fell apart
And I swear that I could almost hear the Breaking of My Heart

It’s a mournful sound that echoes through these halls
My head is spinning and I’m ready to climb the walls
And as I stand here in the silence, the room grows strangely dark
And I swear that I can almost hear the Breaking of My Heart

I know that love's a gamble; it's a chance that we all take
But a man can only lose so much before he starts to break
Now as I watch her walk away, right before the tear drops start
I swear that I can almost hear the Breaking of My Heart
