I know that you're in love in love but not with me

If you take a little rose tear the petals it will cry

If you were only trying to mend my broken heart 

  G7                                       C 
I could dry these tears these tears of misery

I know my days are numbered I count them one by one

My soul within me is slowly dying all hope of love is gone

I am slowly dying of a broken heart 

  G7                               C 
A broken heart that you have given me
