Breaking Hearts (Ain't What It Used To Be) - Elton John

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

Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals

I was always there in the thick of things

I always had the heart of every woman on a string

The danger zone shone from my eyes

It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile

Its not the night reaching in and touching me Its just that breaking hearts aint what it used to be It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me And breaking hearts aint what it used to be Its not the light shining in and catching me Its

just that breaking hearts aint what it used to be But time has come and cast a spell on me And breaking hearts aint what it used to be And now I know what lonely means

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

Cant say I blame them all for being hurt

After all I treated each and every one like dirt

Who wants a heart thats never home

I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone
