Suzy Bogguss - I Wish Hearts Would Break lyrics

(tony arata) He was a giant Swung a heavy hammer in the bottom of a mine But he always came up smiling, a light within his eyes Now there is a skeleton that i don't recognize But it is not the coal that has him fading fast It's a love gone forever that he thought would last That he can't get past I wish hearts would break It wouldn't be quite such a beating to take Why don't they give in Instead of coming back over and over again Oh i wish hearts would break She was an angel Arms open wide, never met a stranger Now she withdraws at the slightest touch Like an animal that's beaten one time too much But it was not an angry hand that hurt her so It was a gentle one that she used to hold That let her go I wish hearts would break It wouldn't be quite such a beating to take Why don't they give in Instead of coming back over and over again Oh i wish hearts would break I wish hearts would break It wouldn't be quite such a beating to take Why don't they give in Instead of coming back over and over again Oh i wish hearts would break
