Breaking Hearts (Ain`t What It Used To Be)

They used to say that boys are tough as nails In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail Now things have changed, I feel so old Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals I was always there in the thick of things I always had the heart of every woman on a string The danger zone shone from my eyes It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile It`s not the night reaching in and touching me It`s just that breaking hearts ain`t what it used to be It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me And breaking hearts ain`t what it used to be It`s not the light shining in and catching me It`s just that breaking hearts ain`t what it used to be But time has come and cast a spell on me And breaking hearts ain`t what it used to be And now I know what lonely means I used to give so little and gain everything The darkest part of every day Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away Can`t say I blame them all for being hurt After all I treated each and every one like dirt Who wants a heart that`s never home I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone
