I Break Horses, Not Hearts
From rustlers rhapsody soundtrack, warner bros. 1985
Ill drink a cold one with you and laugh the night away,
cause I ride hard when Im working and I work hard when I play.
But any misconception oughta stop before it starts
Ill be leaving in the morning, girl,
I break horses not hearts.
Ive broken records in the roundup, where Ive broke a bone or two,
But I wont ride away tomorrow and leave a broken heart with you.
Tonight cant last forever, soon Ill be long gone from these parts
You wont hate me when its over,
I break horses not hearts.
Your smile is so inviting and youre tender to a touch,
And youre walking on the edge cause youre tempting me too much.
When your home is in the saddle, boots dont fit beneath the bed,
So when the sun comes up tomorrow, Ill be riding on instead.
Chorus
Ive broken records in the roundup . . . .
You wont hate me when its over
I break horses not hearts
I break horses not hearts

Hole Hearted
Once whole hearted,
Now, hard hearted,
Leaving a hole in my heart.
I thought we just took a break,
Not realizing it was the break,
Thinking we could fix what was broken,
Instead of shattering the pieces.
Now, four broken hearts
Instead of just two.
When I put my heart before yours and the kids,
The result was catastrophic.
Now you put your heart before mine, and the kids.
The result will be no different for you,
As it was for me.
You never deserved what I put you through.
In the end, we each get what we truly deserve.
I had heaven, and traded it for hell.
In the end,
Two promises were made,
Two promises were broken.
Two hearts broken,
Four lives shattered.
Who did what, to whom first, is irrelevant.
What was done, by whom is the sin.
Do unto others, as you would have done to you.
It doesn't say unless.
I broke your heart,
You broke mine.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
It is not our right to wrong.
Even if wronged.
Let no man break,
What God has put together.
Our marriage,
Our broken hearts,
Our life,
Our love.
You, me or them.
One day, we all meet our maker.
Did we please Him?
Or did we just please ourselves?

Where Do I Go
Where do I go when all the stars leave the sky
And all the magic that you do
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
Where do I go when all the words turn to lies
And steal the feeling that we knew
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Please dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
Well, I got a chance (got a chance)
Well , no chance at all (no chance at all)
That I can make you understand
Oh, let there be a chance (be a day_
Oh , let there be a place (far away)
The love that you and I alone can live with us
The story that our children hear
One day , my love, (day my love)
That you , my love, were born to be by life
Where do I go when all the stars leave the sky
And all the magic that you do
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
(break)
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
Where do I go when all the stars leave the sky
And all the magic that you do
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you

Hearts Fall
Edwin McCain
Hearts Fall
Pin feathers, dusty old wings
Living all my crazy never-land dreams
And I feel her trying when were apart
And I feel like dying
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And how she loves me, I dont understand
And if time wont change me, perhaps she can
And I feel her trying when were apart
And I feel like dying
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
My selfish anger and I just run away
But a perfect heart always makes me stay
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

Shop of Broken Heart
Baby if all you are selling is broken hearts,
I am not buying any,
Can't repair the broken parts,
Can't fit in the many
Baby if all you are looking for is tender hearts,
To harden them and then tear them apart,
I am not the right kind of guy,
I don't tear my heart.
Baby this is my heart,
See the patches and the stiches left there,
I guess I am not smart,
To break my heart on every count
And if you have a shop of broken hearts,
I don't want to get in there,
I will be the one, and the only one,
Who would have the broken heart.
So I am leaving the smart ones behind,
And if you are selling broken hearts,
I don't want any,
I got plenty of them.
Nobody Girl
Well, the night makes moves
And it shatters like broken glass
Better play it cool... better let it pass
Have you been screening your smokes?
And whispers in an all night bar
Better off as the fool
Than the owner of that kind of heart
They dont know you anyway
They dont know you and they dont watch you walk away
Just a nobody girl
With a radar to the scene
When the emptiness finds you
You find all the numbers you need
Say you follow your heart
Well, honey youre just being lost
Say you follow your gut
Well, how much would it cost?
They dont know you anyway
They dont know you
And they dont watch you walk away
Youre nobody, girl
Youre nobody, girl
Youre a nobody, girl
The night plays games
And the people they come and go
Well, they trade in their pieces
For a late-night ride on your rodeo
If your horses could talk,
I wonder if they would complain
I know youre rested and ready
Theyve been going nowhere for days
They dont know you anyway
They dont know you,
They dont even mind the weight
Nobody, girl
Youre nobody, girl
Nobody, girl

So Hard
I double-cross you
And you get mysterious mail
I've tried hard not to shock you
It's hard not to with the things I could say
Tell me why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
Why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
You lock your letters in a box
And you've hidden the key
I go one better - I'm indebted
To a contact magazine
Tell me why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
Why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for us?
Everybody's got to live together
Just to find a little peace of mind there
If you give up your affairs forever
I will give up mine
But it's hard
So hard
I'm always hoping you'll be faithful
But you're not

Leave Me Alone
(ian hunter)
I love your sulky eyes,
I love your raven hair.
I often fantasize
A beautiful affair,
A broken paradise
cause you dont even care.
I love your sultry smile,
I love to see you dance.
Sometimes it drives me wild
To know Ive got no chance.
Your boyfriend doesnt see
Youre flirting, teasing me.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Sometimes Ill act ok,
Sometimes Ill try and hide.
But when you look at me,
I fall apart inside.
Across a broken sea
You took me for a ride.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Other lovers go home
And Im left here alone
With my heart in my hand.
I just cant understand
Why you treat me this way.
I just got to say.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Why dont you leave me,
Leave me alone, oh)

Little Sister
Verse 1:
Hey, little sister
Did that boy make you cry, did he steal your heart away with a look in his eye
Are you feeling like your world is over now
Hey, little sister
Everything will be alright, what you feel is gonna change all your tears will dry
Time has a way of healing hearts that break somehow
Dont give up on love cause this ones let you down
Chorus:
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday
But time wont stop (uh-uh)
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes
Verse 2:
Hey, little sister youve gotta trust me (just a part of love)
Soon youll open up your eyes and the sun is gonna shine a light you never seen
Theres so much more to love than what youre feeling now
Someday youll find someone wholl never let you down
Chorus:
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday (all youve got is yesterday)
But time wont stop (it dont stop)
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes (tomorrow comes)
Bridge:
Its alright, hey little sister
And you gotta wake up and face up that breaking ups just a part of loving
So his kiss hit you hard it broke your heart but it dont mean nothing
You gotta wake up and face up that breaking ups just a part of loving
The hurt you feel, yes its real, but its gonna heal as a new days coming
Chorus:
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want (one you want)
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday (yesterday)
But time wont stop (time wont stop) (it wont stop, it wont stop)
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes (and when all your crying stops)
Come on little sister
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want (one you want)
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday
But time wont stop
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes

2 Hearts
You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
The house was empty, your pictures gone
I knew youd come back one day, our love was so strong
The past behind us, its here you belong
cause Im deep inside you, youre deep inside me
I always knew that we would always be
Chorus:
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I wont let go of you this time
You couldve talked to me, what changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away, but you know thats a lie
This loneliness is hard to hide
Its so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh

Nowhere Bound
You save up your money, buy you some shoes
The highways calling and shes right on cue
Just when you thought you had it beat
Youre leaving town on a one-way street
Chorus
Its a hard, hard lesson
But youre gonna have to learn it
Its a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
Youre gonna have to turn it around
cause boy right now youre nowhere bound
Her words still echo thru your mind
But fade away as you cross the county line
Running from trouble or from the truth
It doesnt matter either way you lose
Chorus
Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
But you turn around and find that its twenty miles back
And its never gonna change it you keep leaving
Your hearts gonna break, but never break even
Where to now, do you know?
One things for certain
Gonna reap just what you sow
And all you planted was heartache and pain
Dont look now but it looks like rain.

My Hearts With You
(diane warren)
I know youre leaving
I wont ask you to stay
I wont hold you back
I wont stand in your way
If thats what youve gotta do
I understand
Its not that easy setting you free
But thats how its gotta be
And as youre walking away
As Im watching you go
Theres one thing I want you to know
(chorus)
Just remember my hearts with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold
And youre all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday Im just a heartbeat away, wo
Saying goodbye isnt saying were through
Just know through it all Im still here for you
Light a light in the window
When your lost in the dark, ooh
These arms would be happy to hold you again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling you know Ill be there
(repeat chorus (without last line))
You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
Youre leaving me now, but darling I hope
Hope--that youll look back someday
(and remember my hearts with you...)

Hearts Grown Cold
Go out and have your habit,
Keep on takin it
Keep on fakin it
Youre the one whose heart grows cold
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.
Go out and have your habit
Youre the one thats takin it
Youre the one thats fakin it
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.
I touch your lips with my fingertips
I hang on every breath you take
You dont need me like,
I need you
You have your heartaches to climb
Everyday, I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still have,
That you still have your dreams.
Come down and tell me that its better
Youre the one whos choosin it
Youre the one whos losin it
Youre the one whos got no soul,
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.

If Thats What It Takes
I played the part of a broken heart upon a show
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you
Yeah, I know that youve been shattered
You been bruised
We both know what it feels like when you lose
But Id bet my life on a roll of the dice for you
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
Tonites the night, Im gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...
I bet you counted all the tears I bet youve cried
I bet you swore youd never let love back inside
cause it hurt youway too bad to say good-bye
Now, therell be times when I might put us to the test
And its hard for broken hearts to just forget
But Im driving blind, Ill lay it all on the line for you
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
Tonites the night, Im gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...
So, when you feel like jumping
Just when your heart starts pumping
When youre stading out on that ledge-staring over the edge
Ill be there to talk to you down
Ill be there before you hit the ground
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
Tonites the night, Im gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If we take the time to do it right, I know well put through
If it took all my life, Id prove it to you
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...

Time For Change...
It is now time for change
It is now time for love
No time for broken hearts
No time for broken promises
No time to break apart
I wanna mend your (broken) heart
let me take care of you
let me take your hand
let me be your man
It is time to change your mood
yes, it is time to change your mood
No time for broken hearts
No time for broken promises
No time to break apart
it is time to stop dwelling on the past
'cause it will not heal wounds fast
time is not in anyone's control
and time will not wait
when it is already on a roll
It is time for change
It is time for love
No time for broken hearts
No time to break apart
let me take your hand
let me be your man

Last Beautiful Girl
This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We cant take back
Now every fool in town wouldve left by now
I cant replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face - cant help thinkin
Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Heres what Im thinking
It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Tell me one more time
How youre sorry about the way
This all went down - you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
Needed me to
Call you if I ever couldnt keep it all together youd comfort me
Tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Heres what Im thinking
It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Its over now - and Ive gone without
Cuz youre everybody elses girl
It seems to me - youll always be
Everyone elses girl
Everyone elses girl
This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And all the words we said
We cant take back
It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last...
It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
The last beautiful girl in the world
You are the last beautiful girl in the world

Escape
Hes just a young boy out of school
Livin his world like he wants to
Theyre makin laws, but they dont understand
Turns a boy in to a fightin man
They wont take me
They wont break me
No one could tell him what to do
Had to learn everything the hard way
Hes on the street, breakin all the rules
Im tellin you that hes nobodys fool
They wont take me
They wont break me
Now hes leavin, gettin out from this masquerade
Oh gotta go
Im finally out in the clear and Im free
Ive got dreams Im livin for
Im movin on where theyll never find me
Rollin on to anywhere
Ill break away, yes Im on my way
Leavin today, yes Im on my way
Just when you think you had it all figured out
Runnin scared can change your mind
I never knew I had so much to give
How hard times can fool ya
Oh Im okay, Im alright
Feelin good out on your own
Ill break away, Ill break away tonight
Ive got dreams Im livin for
Ill break away
Yes, Im on my way
Im leaving, leavin today
Yes, Im on my way
This is my escape
Yes, Im on my way
Ill break away

Will You Love Me Tomorrow
Tonight youre mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that Im the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I wont ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and I wont ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow

The Things We Dare Not Tell
The fields are fair in autumn yet, and the sun's still shining there,
But we bow our heads and we brood and fret, because of the masks we wear;
Or we nod and smile the social while, and we say we're doing well,
But we break our hearts, oh, we break our hearts! for the things we must not tell.
There's the old love wronged ere the new was won, there's the light of long ago;
There's the cruel lie that we suffer for, and the public must not know.
So we go through life with a ghastly mask, and we're doing fairly well,
While they break our hearts, oh, they kill our hearts! do the things we must not tell.
We see but pride in a selfish breast, while a heart is breaking there;
Oh, the world would be such a kindly world if all men's hearts lay bare!
We live and share the living lie, we are doing very well,
While they eat our hearts as the years go by, do the things we dare not tell.
We bow us down to a dusty shrine, or a temple in the East,
Or we stand and drink to the world-old creed, with the coffins at the feast;
We fight it down, and we live it down, or we bear it bravely well,
But the best men die of a broken heart for the things they cannot tell.

I Hate Christmas Parties
I hope it snows this week
A snowflake on your cheek
Would make this Christmas so beautiful
But that would just bring the pain,
Because things cant stay the same
These holidays wont be wonderful
I look under the tree, but theres nothing to see
Cause its a broken heart that youre giving me
I cant figure you out
Is this what Christmas is all about?
Cause its a broken heart that youre giving me
I dont want to talk, Im sick of all this talking
A broken heart wrapped up in a box
Theres tear drops in my stocking
I look under the tree, but theres nothing to see
Cause its a broken heart, that youre giving me
I cant figure you out
Is this what Christmas is all about?
Cause its a broken heart that youre giving me
I hate Christmas parties
You offer me some punch, but I just shrug
I hate Christmas parties
You and the cookie tray, both hear me say
Bah Humbug
Falalalalalalalalala Falalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalala(2x)
I look under the tree, but theres nothing to see
Cause its a broken heart that youre giving me
I cant figure you out
Is this what Christmas is all about?
Cause its a broken heart that youre giving me
I look under the tree, but theres nothing to see
Cause its a broken heart that youre giving me
