Natalie Merchant - Break Your Heart lyrics

People downcast, is despair See the disillusion everywhere Hoping their bad luck will change Gets a little harder every day People struggle, people fight For the simple pleasures in their lives But trouble comes from everywhere It's a little more than you can bear I know that it will hurt I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been And the way they've always been People shallow, self-absorbed See the push and shove for their rewards I, me, my is on their minds You can read about it in their eyes People ruthless, people cruel See the damage that some people do Full of hatred, full of pride It's enough to make you loose your mind I know that it will hurt I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been I know that it will hurt I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been Don't spread the discontent Don't spread the lies Don't make the same mistakes With your own life You never will let love survive I know that it will hurt I know that it will break your heart The way things are And the way they've been Don't spread the discontent Don't spread the lies Don't make the same mistakes With your own life Don't disrespect yourself Don't loose your pride And don't think that Everybody's gonna choose your side
