you don't have very far to go

You always find the way to hurt my pride
if I'm not crying you're not satisfied
I don't know why you want to hurt me so
But if you're trying to break my heart
you don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go
before the heartaches begin
I already feel the sadness
of a heartbreak settin' in
You're turning down the flame of love too low
If you're trying to break my heart
you don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go
before the heartaches begin
I already feel the sadness
of a heartbreak settin' in
You can't love me and still want to hurt me so
If you're trying to break my heart
you don't have very far to go
