I. O. U. (A Broken Heart)

Dear, I've been remembering all we used to do
The things we shared together the things that I O U

I O U the long long waits
The broken dates when you were out with someone new
I O U the tears I've cried
The times you lied and told me you were being true
I O U a thousand fights
The sleepless nights your cheating ways kept me awake
I O U a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break

If I tried for ever still I really know
I could never,never pay you all I owe

I O U the deep distress
The sorry mess you made of all the hopes I knew
I O U the vows you broke
The great big joke you made of my great love for you
I O U the tortured brain
The hurt and pain I used to bear for true love's sake
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break

I O U times and tons of grief and misery
I O U alibis that wouldn't get by a little child of three

For my parting words to you I hope before life's through
you will owe to someone else all that I O U

I O U some bitter pills
The shakes and chills I got when you would never phone
I O U the many times the endless times had to sit at home alone
I O U a thing or two
For all the love you'd never give but always take
I O U a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break

I O U a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break
