Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So many times I've seen
So many people's dreams
Lost and washed away, out to the sea, yeah
I said, "No, not I"
Pain would surely pass me by
Happening to them, but not to me, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hearts get broken all the time
(Ooh) Ooh, never used to worry 'bout things like this (This)
(I wouldn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Now I'm worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
[Verse 3]
Love would be all I'd need
How naive could I be?
Trusting other people with my care, yeah
Never thought I'd have to be
One of love's casualties
Up until now, my belief was that love was fair
[Verse 4]
Hearts get broken all the time, ooh, yeah
(Ooh) But I never worried 'bout things like this (This)
(I didn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
I keep a-worrying (This one is mine)
See, the problem is the heart is mine, oh-whoa-ooh
[Verse 5]
This time my heart's breaking
This time my love is failing
I'm trying hard not to be bitter now (Bitter now)
Never dreamed that the broken heart would be mine, ow
[Verse 6]
(Hearts get broken) All the time
You think it's love, but it never really is
(Never could imagine) A thing like that (That)
(I wouldn't worry) I wouldn't
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Got me worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is (This heart is mine)
This is mine, this is mine, yeah
[Verse 7]
(Hearts get broken all the time)
All the time, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Never cared a doggone) Not a thing like that
I never really did (I didn't worry) never
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
And the problem really is (This one is mine)
See, the whole thing is, the heart is (Mine)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
[Verse 8]
(This time it's mine) It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine
(This one is mine) This one is mine, it's mine, it's mine
(The heart is mine) It's different now, yes, it is, yes, it is
It's mine, it's mine (This time it's mine)
It's not yours, it's mine, it's mine (This one is mine)
It's different, folks, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine
(The heart is mine)
This time it's mine, it's mine, it's mine
(This time it's mine, this one is mine, the heart is mine)
(This time it's mine, this one is mine, the heart is mine)
