Paul Kelly - You Broke A Beautiful Thing lyrics

Like a child acting so carelessly You destroyed something you just didn't see I'm not angry How could I be angry with a child? You broke a beautiful thing And it won't ever mend Thoughtless child All wrapped up in the shape of a man I tried so hard to get you to understand I'm so sorry Why am I always the one saying sorry Like a mother does for a child? You broke a beautiful thing And it won't ever mend I'll never have the pieces again I hate the way I keep losing things And I hate the way when I lose something I never seem to find it again You broke a beautiful thing
