Go Before You Break My Heart
GO (BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART)

Do you really mean what you try to say?
Do you really mean you would go away?
Say it isn't true, say it's just a game,
Say it isn't true, things are just the same,
How can you and I ever say goodbye?
No, I see your eyes agree with what you say.
I could never make you stay.

Go, go before you break my heart.
Go before I go down on my knees and beg you, please don't go.
Go, go before the teardrops start,
don't you know at moments such as these it's better please to go.
I'd like to make my heart a prison cell for you to stay.

Didn't we have fun, wasn't it a song?

Didn't we have fun, where did I go wrong?
Did I try too hard? Did I make mistakes?
Surely they're the kind every lover makes?
Is it all a dream, will I wake up soon?
How can I face the lonely years without you?
Don't you know I love you so?

Go, go before you break my heart.
Go before I go down on my knees and beg you, please don't go.
Go, go before the teardrops start,
don't you know at moments such as these it's better please to go.
I'd like to make my heart a prison cell for you.
Go GO BEFORE THE TEARDROPS START
DON'T YOU KNOW AT MOMENTS SUCH AS THESE
IT'S BETTER PLEASE TO GO, GO.
