it all went down so long ago
i thought that i forgot it all
but the scar where i once knew her
she broke my heart –
but she broke, too

i was the one

‘picked up the phone
she said my name
it all came rushing back in a dam-burst
out of breath, in whispered tones
i did not want to hear what she said so quietly:
“you touched my heart”
as tears rolled down
i thought i heard her say forgive me

i’ve got no strength to fight this now
i’ve got no strength for much of anything
she touched me where i need to feel
but hit me hardest when she spoke so quietly:
“you stole my heart; i ran away and turned around
to find nothing left at all”

i was the one
… she broke, too

it all went down so long ago
i thought that i’d forgotten all
but the scar where i once knew her
she broke my heart
but she broke, too

Go here to hear it!
