Heart Don't Break

Lately, I've gotta confess

There's a jet plane engine turning in my head

Maybe that's why I'm holed-up tight

Here behind locked doors on a Saturday night

Bittersweet, it's all the same

Cigarettes and sugarcane

What the light don't touch is all I know

Yeah, to Heaven or Hell, God rest my soul

And I been here a long, long time

Watching the days roll by

Don't you know, under it all

There's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn?

Well, if there ain't no healin' without pain

Sun without a little rain

For every giving there's a takin'

And there ain't no lovin' if a heart don't break

If a heart don't break

I ain't askin' you to understand

The caterwauling of an unpenitent man

Of anything I fear the most

Is the life-long sentence of a wandering ghost

I been here a long, long time

Watching the days roll by

Don't you know, under it all

There's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn?

Well, if there ain't no healin' without pain

Sun without a little rain

For every giving there's a takin'

And there ain't no lovin' if a heart don't break

If a heart don't break

Ooh

If a heart don't break

Yeah, if a heart don't break
