Heartbreaker you were,
you were everything I dreamed
Everything I wanted,
Everything I'd need

and Heartbreaker, I had
never been so sure
even when you left me in the cold
and my heart on the floor

Cause I thought I wasn't good enough for you
so I let you go with any old excuse
but you knew...

Where you'd go I would follow
I'd be what you need
I'd run to your side and I'd always believe
Cause your love was the life and the breath that I need
But tryin to love you,
was Killing Me

And I was just a girl, I was
only seventeen
and the light i saw in you
was one I had never seen

So I believed each word you said
and every promise that you made
and I'd put too much in you
to let it go to waste

Cause I thought I wasn't good enough for you
so I let you go with any old excuse
but you knew...

Chorus

And all this time I tried not to see
I was chasin after someone I would never reach

Chorus

.. and heartbreaker, I really thought you'd change but it's time I let you go
and I, let you fly away...
