[Verse 1]
I tell myself I love you, because I really care
I tell myself I need you, but is that really fair?
I really truly love you, and I’ll always be there
Just don’t know how to tell you, I don’t wanna be here

[Chorus]
I can be that friend that I was to you
Like we were right from the start
I can be right there when you want me to
If we’re a million miles apart
I’d give you every part of me that I could
But the one thing I can’t give you…is my heart
Is my heart

[Verse 2]
I wish that I could like you, my feelings are sincere
But every time I try to, it kinda disappears
I know how much you love me, mmm, and want me to love you
But every time I try to, ooh, the feelings end there

[Chorus]
I can be a friend like we used to be
Like we were right from the start
I can be right there when you call me up
Even a million miles apart
See, I gave you every part of me that I could
But the one thing I can’t give you…is my heart
Is my heart

[Outro]
My heart, yeah

I gave you every part of me that I could
But the one thing I can’t give you…is my heart
Is my heart
Is my heart
Is my heart

I can’t do it…I can’t do it…

She is best known for her single “Unbreak My Heart” and her second album Secrets. Braxton was discovered early by William E. Pettaway Jr., who helped her launch her career.

Braxton first started performing with her four sisters in a family band titled “The Braxtons” in the late 1980s, successfully attracting the attention of Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, who were co-artists Braxton’s songs, including her signature song, Un-Break My Heart.

L.A. Reid and Babyface brought Braxton in as a substitution and had her record a demo of “Love Shoulda Brought You Home”. The song made it onto the soundtrack of the movie Boomerang, giving her early success and recognition. Braxton started recording her solo debut album at LaFace Records on July 13, 1993, quickly gaining popularity as it peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart.
