I had to break a young girl's heart
To save our future now
A bastard king whose throne was built
On broken, thwarted crowns

She wanted me to salvage it
I just simply could not
She stopped and turned and looked at me
And I saw her heart drop

The previous two months had stirred
A feeling in my gut
I couldn't take it anymore
I knew I had to trust

The instincts that my mind displayed
And that my stomach felt
She said I gave her heaven but
Now she's in total hell

I had to break a young girl's heart
Although I didn't want
To truly end it but I had
No other choice at all

Some friends of hers say she's okay
Some friends say that she's not
And I've moved on much faster than
I ever would have thought

And it is kind of scaring me
But all in all I guess
The ending of us truly was
In some ways for the best

But eight long months abruptly stopped
By fights that reoccurred
This time it wasn't over in
The morning, I was sure

I had to break a young girl's heart
Now she is breaking down
'Cause she had such high hopes for me
And now I'm not around

Her head is aching every day
Hope she gets better soon
I knew it would be all my fault
When we sat in that room

The final talk we'd ever have
Was just the first of three
Each one simply got worse and worse
So my apologies

I'm sorry it ended like this
I'm sorry for it all
I'm sorry that I crushed your dream
Of still being my doll

I had to break a young girl's heart
I had no other choice
Now all she sees is blackness here
And all she hears is noise

We shared a final kiss that night
Asked if it meant a thing
I thought it did but I was wrong
What was I supposed to think?

I worry about how she is
At least once every day
If only 'cause I am the reason
That we didn't stay

Together for a longer time
I swore it wouldn't break
Another couple months, by then
It'd be a stronger pain

I had to break a young girl's heart
I hope her's is the last
'Cause if I break another one
I don't know If i can

Find love again in this old world
Or if I even should
Be able to have another chance
And maybe that is good

I'm not cut out for being there
For much too long a time
That's why I'm absolutely scared
To be alone and die

Cause if there is a Heaven I
Am sure that I will break
The heart of some sweet angel
Like I did in prior days

I had to break a young girl's heart
Because she said my own
Was not beating for her as much
As she would like to know

She said if all the things that made
Her body up could change
I'd want them to be altered and
Completely rearranged

A frankenstein of prior loves
Is what she said I'd want
But I would never ask for that
'Cause she was just the one

Then everything collapsed and she
Wanted to fix it up
But I could see that there was nothing left
And we were stuck

I had to break a young girl's heart
And this is how it ends
We both have gone our separate ways
And we won't speak again
