You wanted to know that you could break my heart but I could have told you you could

You just had to see if I'd go to pieces but I could have told you I would

Just think of the time not to mention the trouble

That you threw away on a heart like mine

If you just have to prove that you could destroy me I could have saved you the time

[ steel ]

And so now you know that I can be foolish but I could have told you it's true

And so now you see that I have a glass heart but I could have told you I do

There may come a time you may run into trouble

You might find the need for a love like mine

If you're wondering which fool will be waiting for you I could have saved you the time
