You came along when I Needed a savior Someone to pull me Through somehow I've been torn apart so Many times I've been hurt so many Times before So I'm counting on you now Somebody already Broke my heart Somebody already Broke my heart Here I am So don't leave me stranded On the end of a line Hanging on the edge of a lie I've been torn apart so Many times I've been hurt so many Times before So be careful and be kind Somebody already Broke my heart If someone has to lose I don't want to play Somebody already Broke my heart No no I can't go there again You came along when I Needed a savior Someone to pull me Through somehow I've been torn apart so Many times I've been hurt so many Times before So I'm counting on you now Somebody already Broke my heart If someone has to lose I don't want to play Somebody already Broke my heart No no I can't go there again
