didn't realize it at the time
All she wanted was my love,
and all I did was make her cry
We had a great thing going,
but then I blew it so bad
I couldn't resist the temptation,
and it made us both so sad
I think I broke her heart
Didn't know how great she was
Had to have this other girl
So I broke up with my true love
And I thought I was doing the right thing
And it's too late to get smart
I think I broke my own heart
I tried to be so nice to her
And I tried to get it right
I thought that before I cheated
I'd break it off with her first
Was make the situation worse
I think I broke her heart
Didn't know how great she was
Had to have this other girl
So I broke up with my true love
And I thought I was doing the right thing
And it's too late to get smart,
I think I broke my own heart
Technically, I never did cheat
But all I had was a few nights of fun
It wasn't worth it, but then it was too late
The damage was already done
I knew she'd never take me back,
although I tried a time or two
She went on to get a new man,
I went on to get the blues
I think I broke her heart
Didn't know how great she was
Had to have this other girl
So I broke up with my true love
And I thought I was doing the right thing
And it's too late to get smart
I think I broke my own heart
I think I broke her heart
Didn't know how great she was
Had to have this other girl
Who was hanging all over me
So I broke up with my true love
And I thought I was doing the right thing
Now it's too late to get smart,
I think I broke my own heart.
