When you were young
and on your own
how did it feel to be alone
i was always thinking of games
that i was playing
trying to make the best of my time
but only love can break your heart
try to be sure right from the start
yes, only love can break your heart
what if your world should fall apart
i have a friend i've never seen
he hides his head inside a dream
someone should call him and see
if he can come out
trying to lose the down that he's found
but only love can break your heart
