Don’t Break My Heart

Don't break my heart, just go if you must, but don't keep me lingering on;
Waiting to hear your voice just once more, waiting to hear your sweet song.
Waiting to feel your warm strong embrace, hoping you'll walk through the door;
Waiting and hoping yet knowing the while, you'll take my heart just as before.

Don't break my heart, be honest with me, tell me your heart is not mine;
Tell me you tried and could not find the words, tell me love faded with time.
Tell me you love me but love's not enough, tell me I'm not what you sought;
Tell me your heart wept with each angry word, with each tear that fell when we fought.

Don't break my heart, it's stronger you see, than you gave it credit to be;
Stronger than watching you drive away mad, knowing you'd come home to me.
Stronger than words you said out of spite, stronger than sorrys you said;
Stronger than I would have ever believed, not frightened but healing instead.

Don't break my heart, don't say that you'll stay, we both know you want to free;
Free to explore and free to implore, free to be long far and see.
Free to expound on your heart's desires, free to roam and to soar;
Free to dream on and pray that you'll find, the love in the romantist's lore.

Don't break my heart, it's sad you'll not know, the beauty that lies deep within;
The beauty that loved you, the beauty that sang, the beauty that whispered love's end.
The beauty that wept when it knew you were gone, the beauty that held memories;
The beauty that kept your soul warm inside, the beauty that sanctifies me.

Don't break my heart, just go if you must, but as you go take this one thing;
Destiny has, an ironic small way, of bringing the winter to spring.
And as you roam on your quest for true love, look back on the once in awhile;
For I will be gone and all that will remain, is a mirrored glimpse of my smile.
