How do you live with a broken heart?
[Verse 1:]
Every time you come too close
I just run away
I need you so much
And that's so hard to say
There is me and there is you
And I get confused
And sooner or later
I know that I'll have to choose
[Chorus:]
You know it's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do?
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No one in love likes to lose
How do you live with a broken heart?
[Verse 2:]
And I can honestly say
I wanna be on my own
That too bare existence
When I was all alone
I know you're not asking me
To just live for you
But it's always how I've loved
And all I know how to do
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
Once again
I'm falling in love
Like a fool
I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing
Once again
It's somebody else that I need
I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
[Chorus:]
It's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do?
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No one in love likes to lose
Once again
I'm falling in love
Like a fool
I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing, doing
Once again
It's somebody else
That I need
I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
About you
I'm crying my heart out for you?
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you?
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you?
What can I do?
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
[Verse 1:]
Every time you come too close
I just run away
I need you so much
And that's so hard to say
There is me and there is you
And I get confused
And sooner or later
I know that I'll have to choose
[Chorus:]
You know it's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do?
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No one in love likes to lose
How do you live with a broken heart?
[Verse 2:]
And I can honestly say
I wanna be on my own
That too bare existence
When I was all alone
I know you're not asking me
To just live for you
But it's always how I've loved
And all I know how to do
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
Once again
I'm falling in love
Like a fool
I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing
Once again

I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
[Chorus:]
It's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do?
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No one in love likes to lose

I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing, doing

And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
About you
I'm crying my heart out for you?
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you?
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you?
What can I do?
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
