You’re the Break

(Karen Staley/Brian Keith Burns)

I never had much luck with romance
Anytime it ever got near me
Love seemed to slip through my hands
Took me as low as a girl could be
So if I act a little gun shy don't think it's 'cause I don't want you
I know you'll understand just why
When I tell you what my heart's been through

It's been bulldozed deep froze heaven knows
It's a true connoisseur of pain
It's been loosed double crossed rolled up
And hand tossed left out in the pourin' rain
It's been beat down kicked around
Stomped into the hard ground slammed like a finger in the door
But honey you're the break
My heart's been waitin' for

You're like a breath of fresh air
Dry land to a ship at sea
Boy I'm sendin up my last flare
I think you're gonna rescue me
Baby I'm countin' on your touch
Io get us back on the mend
My heart's gotten hurt so much
It sure could use a friend

It's been bulldozed deep froze heaven knows
It's a true connoisseur of pain
It's been loosed double crossed rolled up
Snd hand tossed left out in the pourin' rain
It's been beat down kicked around
Dtomped into the hard ground slammed like a finger in the door
But honey you're the break
My heart's been waitin' for
