Lyrics

You always find the way to hurt my pride

If I'm not crying you're not satisfied

And I don't know why you wanna hurt me so

If you're tryin' to break my heart

You don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go

Before the heartache begins

I already feel the sadness

Of a heartbreak settin' in

I don't know why you wanna hurt me so

If you're tryin' to break my heart

You don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go

Before the heartache begins

I already feel the sadness

Of a heartbreak settin' in

You're turnin' down

The flame of love too low

And if you're tryin' to break my heart

You don't have very far to go
