Natalie Merchant - Break Your Heart lyrics

See the dis-illusion everywhere

Hoping their bad luck will change

It's a little harder everyday

People struggle, people fight

For the simple pleasures in their life

The trouble comes from everywhere

It's a little more than you can bear

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

The way they've been

And the way they've always been

People shallow, self-absorbed

See them push and shove for their rewards

With nothing else on their minds

You can read about it in their eyes

People ruthless, people cruel

The damage that some people do

Full of hatred, full of pride

It's enough to make you lose your mind

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

Don't spread the discontent

Don't spread the lies

Don't make the same mistakes

With your own life

You know we're all a little low sometimes

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

Don't spread the discontent

Don't spread the lies

Don't make the same mistakes

In your own life

And don't disrespect yourself

Don't lose your pride

And don't think everybody's gonna change their side

Oh no
