LYRICS “Break My Heart”
(Music & Lyrics: Greg Tudeski / ©2025)

One by one
The leaves are falling down
The streets are getting ready
For Christmas madness and glee

I am pacing around
Prisoner of my thoughts
Still trying to hold
On to my dreams and hopes
Pessimist Optimist
Balancing the odds
Of my disillusions
Crumbling to dust


I know you’re going to break my heart
But I don’t know how and when
I can picture falling apart
Unable to contain
Balancing on top of the cliff
I’m looking down
Wondering if
One can feel the world around
Without a soul to understand
Cause you drove my heart around
Brought it everywhere
For everyone to see
But you never
Bothered to bring it back to me


Step by step
The distance is increasing
Isn’t it amazing
How survival keeps us focused

I am losing my mind
Trying to anticipate
How to stay up in the wind
Rather than sit and wait

Disorganized planner
Juggling the multiple
Insane parameters
Why bother with the trouble?
 
 	  	 
I know you’re going to break my heart
But I don’t know how and when
I can picture falling apart
Unable to contain
Balancing on top of the cliff
I’m looking down
Wondering if
One can feel the world around
Without a soul to understand
Cause you drove my heart around
Brought it everywhere
For everyone to see
But you never
Bothered to bring it back to me


Suspended to a string
Dangling up in the air
Searching g for a meaning
Is anything ever
Logical 
And factual
Straight forward
And not awkward
Well it’s complicated…


I know you’re going to break my heart
But I don’t know how and when
I can picture falling apart
Unable to contain
Balancing atop of the cliff
I’m looking down
Wondering if
One can feel the world around
Without a soul to understand
Cause you drove my heart around
Brought it everywhere
For everyone to see
But you never
Bothered bringing it back to me

I know you’re going to break my heart
But I don’t want to wait and wait
if i have to fall apart
Then go ahead and do it
If I have to drop in the water
Delaying it will not make it warmer
I’d rather not get pitied
And go through life empty hearted
Cause you drove my heart around
Brought it everywhere
For everyone to see
But you never
Bothered bringing it back to me
