They used to say that boys are tough as nails
In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail
Now things have changed I feel so old
It seems like every inch I gain became a mile
Coz I can't say I blame them all for being hurt
Coz after all I treated each and every one like that
Who wants a heart that's never whole
I faced the facts and locked myself into a life alone
It's not the light reaching in and touching me
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
It seems that time has cast a spell on me
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
And now I know what lonely means
Coz I used to give so little and gain everything
The darkest part of every day
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away
Coz I can't say I blame them all for being hurt
Coz after all I treated each and every one like that
Who wants a heart that's never whole
I faced the facts and locked myself into a life alone
It's not the light reaching in and touching me
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
It seems that time has cast a spell on me
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
And now I know what lonely means
Coz I used to give so little and gain everything
The darkest part of every day
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away
It's not the light reaching in and touching me
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
It seems that time has cast a spell on me
And breaking hearts
Breaking hearts
Breaking hearts
Ain't what it used to be
