10cc - Why Did I Break Your Heart Lyrics

Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters
I found an eight by ten, taken God knows when
It took me back to when we found each other

How did I let it start?
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart?

The tender parts we played
I thought we had it made
The recipe for love, perfect fusion

But when the love turned sour
I found the happy hour
But drinking for the world is no solution

How did I let it start
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart

Can't we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Why did I break your heart

The cost of loving is a heavy burden
Somebody's gotta take the strain
The things we said would make a cover story
But who's gonna say
Who should take all the blame

We analyzed ourselves
It didn't really help
No one to referee
No rhyme, no reason

I thought we had the best
But when you flew the nest
My heart decided it was open season

How did I let it start
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart

Can't we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart
Why did I break your heart
Why did I break your heart
