(My Poor Heart Is Surely) Breaking - Paul Jones

My poor heart is surely breaking

Loneliness is all I see

I cried all night and the dawn is breaking

Please, darling, please help me

It’s just a word, but think what it means

Breaking’s a thing you do

Love is a thing, a thing you can break

And I was just breaking it, too

A word is something spoken, girl

A token you give to me

But now your world is broken, girl

And you see?

Help me

My poor heart is surely breaking

Loneliness is all I see

I cried all night and the dawn is breaking

Please, darling, please help me

Loving’s a risk, a gamble you take

And pray you don’t wind up cryin'

Things can go wrong, and you lose your stake

Still, you don’t intend to stop cryin'

But you can keep on keeping on

Making the same mistake

One day, you’ll end up weepin'

When your heart brakes

I need you

My poor heart is surely breaking

Loneliness is all I see

(You got to help me, girl, 'cause my heart is breakin')

My poor heart is surely breaking

(Loneliness, that is all I see)

Emptiness is all I see

(Help me girl, 'cause my heart is breaking)

My poor heart is surely breaking

(Emptiness, is that all I see?)

Loneliness is all I see…
