The Way You Break My Heart

I've tried to understand pain by writing about it. I'm not sure this approach leads to any particular insights, but it does seem to generate a wealth of material.

This song is on both Texas Rubies albums. I hope to have Rubies tracks available here soon.

Well don't talk to me about love
And how it trickled through our fingers
It trickled through our hands
How you still care for me deeply but this isn't what you planned
Just an ordinary love in an ordinary life
Just a day-to-day love with me by your side
And how you wake up in a sweat
You wake up with the notion that your dreams have past you by
And how it's me that holds you back
Well don't talk to me about love
When I know you didn't even try

And oh, darling
Oh, darling
Oh, darling
It's the way you break my heart that makes me want to cry

And don't let it end like this
Like a used up shell of what it used to be
Like it's not worth talking over 'cause we're both too blind to see
Past our own hurt feelings that go back to Lord knows when
So let's just go through the motions of another day again
And don't let it end like this
When I know you didn't even try
