A Broken Heart Won't Kill Ya

by Y. M. Roger


‘Twas a beautiful Spring morning
Though there were gray skies all around
Fitting, I guess, cuz what a mess
When my world came crashing down
 
You didn’t cheat, that wasn‘t you
Yeah, I knew that from the start
But when you proclaimed you don’t feel the same
Well, the words they broke my heart
 
[chorus]
They say a broken heart won’t kill ya
Hey, I know they’re pro’bly right
Outside I see
The grass and trees
And the days still turn to night
No, a broken heart won’t kill ya
But I guarantee you this
Deep down inside
You’ll think you’ve died
And you lose the will to live
 
Just to know that I’m no longer
A big reason for your smile
To hear you say that gone away
Are things that make ‘us’ worthwhile
 
I was completely blindsided
Nope, I never had a clue
There are no words, my vision’s blurred
From the tears I’ve cried for you.
 
[chorus]
They say a broken heart won’t kill ya
It’s a scientific fact
But the side effects
Thinking what comes next
Leave you burned and feeling trapped
No, a broken heart won’t kill ya
But I guarantee you this
Deep down inside
You’ll think you’ve died
And you lose the will to live
 
[slower, mostly acapella]
Once forever was my vision
Now, I see it isn’t ours
So forgive me, babe, I feel betrayed
Never took you for a coward
(til now)
 
[chorus]
But a broken heart won’t kill ya
Though it’ll change your point of view
The colors fade
To black and gray
Knowing dreams just don’t come true
No, a broken heart won’t kill ya
But I guarantee you this
Deep down inside
You’ll think you’ve died
And you lose the will to live
………..
…….
…
The sunshine’s gone
It all seems wrong
Cuz in here . . . . I’ve ceased to live

I'm posting this one without explanation because sometimes an unfamiliar tune whispers in the nighttime and it's best to give it voice. Thanx for reading me folks... I am so very appreciative of your support!
