Michael Bolton - Start Breaking My Heart Lyrics

Every night I would lie awake alone in my bed
Thinking 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
You thought you'd desert me, hought 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
