Kenny Rogers How Do I Break It To My Heart Lyrics

How Do I Break It To My Heart Lyrics

There's your picture by the bed

I'm gonna leave it where it is

'Cause if I tear it out tonight

My heart would know

But something ain't right

Between me and you



I'm gonna lie here in the dark

And pretend you're in my arms

And if I can't keep on crying

Out your name

My heart would think you're here beside me

And things are still the same



My mind knows, it's over

But how do I break it to my heart

If I let it down easy

It'll still be torn apart



And if I tell it the truth

Then the pain is gonna start

My mind knows, it's over

But how do I break it to my heart



When I saw him by your side

I guess, it opened up my eyes

And my ears can finally hear

Your soft goodbye

But my heart still said on loving you tonight

And for the rest of its life



My mind knows, it's over

But how do I break it to my heart

If I let it down easy

It would still be torn apart



And if I tell it the truth

Then the pain is sure to start

My mind knows, it's over

But how do I break it to my heart

How do I break it to my heart
