If You Had a Heart to Break
To a broken man, you gave assistance
Only to take while the patient was in pain
Love as cruel ambition
It's like a three-legged dog left out shivering in the rain
If you had a heart to break
I might find a tear to cry
Too easy to call it a mistake
Too hard to know it was a lie
In my moment of need, hourglass ran empty
And I found time is far cast on
You were somewhere else with someone different
Same cold eyes in brand new clothes
If you had a heart to break
I might find a tear to cry
Too easy to call it a mistake
Too hard to know it was a lie
Buttons, bibles and strings
And all that charity brings
Coulda been, coulda been any little thing
Well, you have held the will and you've held ransom
For all the idols that you have defamed
Well, the last time I saw you, you called me handsome
Now I know, oh, you just couldn't remember my name
If you had a heart to break
I might find a tear to cry
Too easy to call it a mistake
Too hard to know it was a lie
If you had a heart to break
I might find a tear to cry
Too easy to call it a mistake
Too hard to know it was a lie, yeah
