Break Your Heart Lyrics
It would break your heart if you knew me well.
See, I have run so far that I've lost myself
and there are things I have seen that I never will tell.
That drove me out of my mind and inside myself.
And oh, my my, it would break your heart.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here, in the dark.
Oh my my, it would break your heart.
It would bring you to tears if you knew what I know.
See, I spent all my money on second hand love
but I trusted somebody way and back when.
And I loved her like fire until it drove me insane.
And oh, my my, it would break your heart.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here in the dark.
Oh my my, it would break your heart.
And you can lean on me until your heart don't beat.
I'll leave you lying there on the floor.
You can lean on me until your heart don't beat.
I'll leave you spinning there on the floor.
And oh, my my, it would break your heart.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here in the dark.
And oh, my my, it would break your heart.
And oh, my my, it would break your heart.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here in the dark.
Oh my my, it would break your heart.
Until it breaks your heart.
See, I have run so far that I've lost myself
and there are things I have seen that I never will tell.
That drove me out of my mind and inside myself.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here, in the dark.
Oh my my, it would break your heart.
See, I spent all my money on second hand love
but I trusted somebody way and back when.
And I loved her like fire until it drove me insane.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here in the dark.
Oh my my, it would break your heart.
I'll leave you lying there on the floor.
You can lean on me until your heart don't beat.
I'll leave you spinning there on the floor.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here in the dark.
And oh, my my, it would break your heart.
If you knew how I loved you, if I showed you my scars.
If I played you my favorite song lying here in the dark.
Oh my my, it would break your heart.

The beginning melody of this song reminds me of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." Even the phrasing at times is very Tom Petty-ish.
I practiced "Casanova, Baby" on acoustic guitar for six months straight before revealing it to my love's true passion. It did not work out well, but I still drove her home.
It drove me out of my mind, however, and so it also drove me deep inside of myself. The truth of love can sometimes become the most elusive thing in the most beautiful places imaginable. Love can be like fire sometimes, yes.
Cleansing and destructive.
Oh. My. My.
Just about the most beautiful song I have ever heard
