He broke your heart and said goodbye After promising forever You wonder why you even tried He was such a good pretender The love you gave was all in vain But nothing anyone can say Could ever make you love that way again It's the lover not the love Who broke your heart last night It's the lover not the dream That didn't work out right Of you listen to your heart Oh, you'll know it's true It's the lover not the love Who deserted you Don't stop reaching for the stars Let tomorrow live inside you And just remember who you are Keep the faith and love will find you A heart in love can lose, it's true But don't give up in time you'll find The one who's right will come to you It's the lover not the love Who broke your heart last night It's the lover not the dream That didn't work out right Of you listen to your heart Oh, you'll know it's true It's the lover not the love Who deserted you It doe no good to second guess Whether love is wrong or right If it was really meant to be He'd be with you tonight, tonight It's the lover not the love Who broke your heart last night It's the lover not the dream That didn't work out right Of you listen to your heart Oh, you'll know it's true It's the lover not the love Who deserted you
