Waves break over the shore, her heart breaks over him 

Fickle love, faded fantasies, sweet dreams turning sour within 

She touching 44 and he not so sweet 16 

And though she loved him more it seemed this love had never, ever been 



Oh, you know your still beautiful 

 



Empty bottles on the shelf as time came to pass 

(on the shelf your lonely heart) 

She thought she'd find his angel face in the bottom of a whiskey glass 

(thinking of him, fall apart) 

Could've  been his mother but she hoped she'd be his lover just for a little while 

Freshened up he make-up, sighed, and tried to welcome middle age with a friendly smile 



She leans to tattoo him with one long last kiss 

Gee I never knew love could be like this 

The smell of cheap Gin laced with midnight cologne 

The man on the T.V. calls Kathy, Kathy come home 

Yeah, Kathy come home 



Waves break over the shore her heart broke over him 

(the waves take your breaking heart) 

She threw her memories to the sea and now it's just as if he'd never, ever been 

(tides bring a brand new start) 

Never, ever been 

Letters and photographs, the tide has taken them far away, far away 

She still looking beautiful and who needs him anyway? Anyway. 



Oh, you know your still beautiful 

 

Let the waves take your breaking heart 

 

Your breaking heart 

Your breaking heart
