[Chorus/Intro]
The heart you break may be your own
The thing that you say might wind up
Right back at home
You may make someone believe that
They'd be better off alone
But remember that the heart you break
May be your own
[Verse 1]
You go on your way today
I don't want it said that I detained you
Anymore
I respect your independence
You are free to open any doors
That's for sure, yeah
I've already heard your story
There's no need to explain
Goodbye yellow bird
I hope i see you once again
[Chorus]
And I may not be the best you've ever found
Or ever known
But just remember the heart you break
May be your own
[Verse 2]
I've been sad to hear you say
Goodbye my love, I found a brighter rainbow
Over there
But I can see your point of view
Cause when I first met you I thought I'd found one
But beware
I have often reminisced
About the things that I have missed
But I'm sure that some day you're bound
To be always laying by me
[Chorus]
And I may not be the best you've ever found
Or ever known
But just remember the heart you break
May be your own
[Chorus/Outro]
The thing that you say might wind up
Right back at home
You may make someone believe that
They'd be better off alone
But just remember that the heart you break
May be your own, oh
You break
May be your own, all right
