Bernadette Peters - I Never Thought I'd Break Lyrics

I held up pretty well
The first few days I even tried to dying
To get my mind off you

Friends said I look like hell
They said they snapped like that

If they'd been through
What I'd been through
They'd simply fall apart
Well, I am about to start

I never thought I'd break
I thought I could hang on till all the hurt
Had all run out
And I'd be fine
I guess I am not that kind

Not the kind to fall apart
When lovers go away until today
It finally hit me, you're gone
And now I am barely hangin' on

I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice

I've always had the answer
You were my one mistake
Until the day we broke up
I never thought I'd break

I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice

I've always had the answers
You were my one mistake
Until the day I woke up
I thought I'd do what I could judge
Until that day we broke up

I never thought I'd break
