lyrics

Don’t make me break your heart again
We’ve been through all of this before
You don’t have to change your locks
I won’t be standing at your door
I won’t be stringing you along
I’m all done making up my mind
Don’t make me break your heart again
Because it breaks mine every time

I thought that I would be with you forever
I meant it when I promised to be true
But now I find I’m saying to you “never”
And don’t you think I’m not aware
of how this sounds to you

Don’t make me break your heart again
‘Cause every time that I explain
I’m calling back the way it was
when I was taking all the blame
You don’t remember it that way
You say that everything was fine
Don’t make me break your heart again
because it breaks mine every time

This isn’t just a moment’s lapse of reason
A fickle change of heart to make you sore
‘Cause I have been unhappy for a season
A winter so much longer than
the ones that came before

And if I break your heart again
it’s not because I just don’t care
I’m not indifferent to the past
It’s something that we’ll always share
And maybe when all this is through
we can be each other’s friend
For now I have to break your heart
and my own heart needs to mend.

"With a folky voice of clarity that reminds one of early Emmylou Harris, Troxel navigates the waters of love lost and found with songs that offer memorable lines, but no easy answers." - Bill Mallonee
