Elton John - Breaking Hearts (Ain't What It Used to Be) by Elton John lyrics

They used to say that boys are tough as nails In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail Now things have changed I feel so old It seems like every inch I gain became a mile Coz I can't say I blame them all for being hurt Coz after all I treated each and every one like that Who wants a heart that's never whole I faced the facts and locked myself into a life alone It's not the light reaching in and touching me It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be It seems that time has cast a spell on me And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be And now I know what lonely means Coz I used to give so little and gain everything The darkest part of every day Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away Coz I can't say I blame them all for being hurt Coz after all I treated each and every one like that Who wants a heart that's never whole I faced the facts and locked myself into a life alone It's not the light reaching in and touching me It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be It seems that time has cast a spell on me And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be And now I know what lonely means Coz I used to give so little and gain everything The darkest part of every day Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away It's not the light reaching in and touching me It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be It seems that time has cast a spell on me And breaking hearts Breaking hearts Breaking hearts Ain't what it used to be --- .
