Lyrics
HEART BORN TO BE BROKEN © Chapman Nicholson
VERSE Had a heart born to be broken
Never learned to look for lies
Never learned to think a man
could cheat with honest eyes.
But nights when I was all alone
He was in someone else's bed
Found out when one phoned him
Got me on the phone instead.
CHORUS This heart born to be broken isn't very tough
Doesn't know the cheating games, isn't hard enough
A heart born to be broken -- trying to hold on tight
This heart born to be broken is crying out tonight.
VERSE He swore that he would change
I wouldn't bet on that
How many women have there been--
Well they can keep that old tomcat.
I don't cry from heartbreak
he's just yesterday's bad news
Tonight my heart is aching for
The sweetness I once knew
CHORUS This heart born to be broken isn't very tough
Doesn't know the cheating games, isn't hard enough.
A heart born to be broken -- trying to hold on tight
This heart born to be broken is crying out tonight.
VERSE : I'm crying Lord for your help
I'm down here on my knees
I know You hear my prayer
You know that I believe.
I can't live with walls around me
please give me strength to stay true
to the innocent girl I used to be,
I liked that soft trusting fool.
CHORUS This heart born to be broken isn't very tough
Doesn't know the cheating games, isn't hard enough.
A heart born to be broken -- trying to hold on tight
This heart born to be broken is crying, is crying, tonight.
