SOUTHERN BALLAD Lyrics

Everynight, I would lie awake

Alone in my bed

Think of you, then I'd cry myself

To sleep, that's what you said

You were so sure of yourself

By now I'd be out of my mind

So where is the madness

The pain and the sadness

You swore you'd be leavin' behind

CHORUS:

Start breaking my heart

Start bringin' me down

Start breaking my heart

Like you said you'd do to me

Start breaking my heart

Tearin' me apart, breaking my heart

Start breaking my heart


Lookin' back, you were good at diggin'

Into my soul

All the time, oh I should've understood

You just needed control

Finally you realized, how much you were

Foolin' yourself

Ya thought you'd desert me

Thought you could hurt me

By leavin' me for somebody else


CHORUS:


You're breaking your promise to me

You swore I'd be fallin' apart


CHORUS:


You've been gone girl, I don't even

Know how long

Come on and prove me wrong

You can start by breaking my heart

Breaking my heart, breaking my heart
