How do I Break It to My Heart

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, hmm
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 sad 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

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? Hmm
