Lyric Breaking Hearts (Ain t What It Used To Be)

They used to say that boys are tough as nails
In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail
Now things have changed, I feel so old
Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals

I was always there in the thick of things
I always had the heart of every woman on a string
The danger zone shone from my eyes
It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile

It s not the night reaching in and touching me
It s just that breaking hearts ain t what it used to be
It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me
And breaking hearts ain t what it used to be

It s not the light shining in and catching me
It s just that breaking hearts ain t what it used to be
But time has come and cast a spell on me
And breaking hearts ain t what it used to be

And now I know what lonely means
I used to give so little and gain everything
The darkest part of every day
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away

Can t say I blame them all for being hurt
After all I treated each and every one like dirt
Who wants a heart that s never home
I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone
