Story behind the song
In October 2004, out of the blue, a trip to the emergency room turned into surgery - a quadruple by-pass! When you face something like that, you can't help but wonder why. I started to think about broken hearts - why it happens. The year before this surgery I had three major "heartbreaks" and I can't help but wonder . . .
Lyrics
VERSE 1
I don’t know if a study’s been done
But I’d like to volunteer if they ever do one
I know how it feels to watch your child die
And the pain of missing that last goodbye
I’ve known the loss of my very best friend
And seen my forever love come to an end
I've given my all just for love’s sake
That’s what it was that made my heart break
CHORUS 1
It started with the million tears that I’ve cried
Got worse with each and every last goodbye
When there was nothing left to fill that empty ache
That’s when it was I had my heart break (echo)
VERSE 2
Now almost a full year has passed,
Yes, I’m feeling much better at last
I’ve got an idea about what happened to me
The symptoms were there, I just couldn’t see
Though it feels now like a dream
I’ve learned all things aren’t what they seem
Never knew so much was really at stake
I never knew heart’s really can break
CHORUS 2
It starts with the million tears that you’ve cried
Gets worse with each and every last goodbye
When there is nothing left to fill that empty ache
I know they’ll find that’s when you have a heart break
CHORUS 3
Cause it started with the million tears that I cried
Got worse with each and every last goodbye
When there was nothing left to fill that empty ache
That’s when it was I had my heart break
TAG
That’s when I know I had my heart break
