I left him standing in the rain
With tear filled eyes full of pain
He’ll never know the love I feel
How can I explain that it was real
When it was me that said goodbye
I held back my tears and I closed my eyes
It shattered my world tore me apart
But I had to break my own heart

I broke my own heart
Now I cry my own tears
I stand here torn apart
Alone again after all these years
I’m sorry we had to part
But I had to break my own heart
My own heart

My life has taken its turns
I’ve had my ups and downs
I’ve lived and I’ve learned
He picked my up off the ground
The timing was all wrong
I hold my dreams
Close to my own heart
So I had to break my own heart

I broke my own heart
Now I cry my own tears
I stand here torn apart
Alone again after all these years
I’m sorry we had to part
But I had to break my own heart
My own heart

I broke my own heart
The heart that he holds
I cry my own tears I just let them flow


I broke my own heart
Now I cry my own tears
I stand here torn apart
Alone again after all these years
I’m sorry we had to part
But I had to break my own heart
My own heart
