I Wish Hearts Would Break Lyrics - Bogguss Suzy

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
