The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love

But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was


Now here we are
So close yet so far
Haven't I passed the test

When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest


Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong

Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to waste, to waste

So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah


On Sunday you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes

I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply


The world is ours if we want it
We can take it if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now

Baby, try to understand

Don't wanna break your heart

Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake

There's just one life to live
And there's no time to waste, to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break

Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break

There's just so much you can take

Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah


When your lips are on my lips
And our hearts beat as one

But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh


Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong


Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live

And there's no time to waste, to waste
So let me give your heart a break
(Let me give your heart a break)


'Cause you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes

You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart
Maybe, I can ease the ache, the ache

So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break


There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break (your heart), your heart a break (a break)

Oh yeah, yeah

The day I first met you

You told me you'd never fall in love
