10cc — Why Did I Break Your Heart

[Verse 1] Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess I came across a bunch of snaps and letters I found an eight by ten, taken God knows when It took me back to when we found each other [Chorus] How did I let it start? If I could only remember Oh, oh, why did I break your heart? [Verse 2] The tender parts we played I thought we had it made The recipe for life, the perfect fusion But when the love turned sour I found the happy hour But drinking for the world is no solution [Chorus] How did I let it start? If I could only remember Oh, oh, why did I break your heart? Can't we go back to the start? I needed someone to tell me Oh, oh, why did I break your heart? [Bridge] The cost of loving is a heavy burden Somebody's gotta take the strain The things we said would make a cover story But who's gonna say Who should take all the blame? [Verse 3] We analysed ourselves It didn't really help No one to referee, no rhyme no reason I thought we had the best But when you flew the nest My heart decided it was open season [Chorus] How did I let it start? If I could only remember Oh, oh, why did I break your heart? Can't we go back to the start? I needed someone to help me Oh, oh, why did I break your heart? [Outro] Why did I break your heart? Why did I break your heart?
