Carly Simon - Born to Break My Heart lyrics

You were born to break

You were born to break

You were born to break my heart

The same kitchen, the same eyes

The same reaction to the same lies

It was not so long ago

A most auspicious start

And only now I know

You were born to break my heart

You were born to break my heart

Guilt Trip, I can hear you say

Get a grip girl, you’ve lost your way

You don’t begin to understand

I guess it’s time we part

And don't be using that old cliche

You were born to break my heart

You were born to break my heart

No wonder we looked like the perfect couple

It was brilliantly conceived

It seems I have a yen to lose

And you can’t pass up the perfect

Chance to leave

The perfect chance to leave

The same plot, the same pain

I'm still standing here in the same rain

Just as stubborn as a fool

You’d think I might get smart

But here I am, cursed to seek love again

From yet another cold heart

You were born to break my heart

You were born to break my heart

Break my heart

And if I'd seen it coming

I would have said you were right on time

Even if I hadn't been so blind
