lyrics
V E R S E 1
It seems so easy now, my son
To walk away and not look back
She’s gone and soon forgotten
Now, you’re on a whole new track
Young love, well, it’s fun at first
Till the drama of it all
Finally gets too much for you.
So why return her call?
P R E - C H O R U S 1
Well, there’s a price to pay
For the way you choose to walk away
C H O R U S 1
You break a heart, you own it
Love plays a funny trick
You break a heart, you own it
Some little part will stick
The way you weazled out on her
Will never leave your mind
You’re callous and you’ve shown it
You break a heart, you own it
You break it, you own it
V E R S E 2
It seems so simple now, my boy
To catch the eye of someone new.
A girl without the problems
That the first one put you through.
But with a couple hung-up calls
And bitter looks and slamming doors
It slowly comes to dawn on you
The problems might be yours
P R E - C H O R U S 2
When all is said and done
The first one might have been the one.
C H O R U S 2
You break a heart, you own it
That’s what your leaving bought
You break a heart, you own it
And there’s that nagging thought
It’s everyone you’ll ever meet
’Gainst the one you left behind
You’ll wonder if you’ve blown it
You break a heart, you own it
You break it, you own it
B R I D G E
I know you might not hear me now
But what I say is true
You learned to turn your back
From how I left your mom and you
And if you get this
Know that my regretting never sleeps
Leaving is losing
And losing is for keeps
C H O R U S 3
You break a heart, you own it
A child or a wife
You break a heart, you own it
Till it’s a way of life
And once it’s second nature, boy
Real love’s too hard to find
I only wish I’d known it
You break a heart, you own it
You break it, you own it
You break it, you own it
It seems so easy now, my son
To walk away and not look back
She’s gone and soon forgotten
Now, you’re on a whole new track
Young love, well, it’s fun at first
Till the drama of it all
Finally gets too much for you.
So why return her call?
