Lyrics

[Intro]
When my heart stops breaking
When my eyes won't cry
When there's a day I can live without you, baby
It'll be the day I die
[Verse 1]
I have never ever hurt this way
The pain is almost more than I can take
I'd give anything for you to stay with me
And never say goodbye
[Chorus]
When my heart stops breaking
When my eyes won't cry
When there's a day I can live without you, baby
It'll be the day I die
[Verse 2]
I don't understand the reasons why
Was every "I love you" a lover's lie
Please tell me that you felt it at the time
And that what we had was real
[Chorus]
When my heart stops breaking
When my eyes won't cry
When there's a day I can live without you, baby
It'll be the day I die
[Bridge]
I have nothing if I don't have you
These days all I'm looking forward to
[Chorus]
Is when my heart stops breaking
When my eyes won't cry
When there's a day I can live without you, baby
It'll be the day I die
Oh, it'll be the day I die
