Lyrics:
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart
Review comment:
- The song is 20 years old yet still more beautiful & genuine than ever.
- I remember being a child and hearing my mom blast this song full volume on the sound system. Only now as a adult I understand she was remembering the times she had with my dad. What an amazing but heartbreaking song
- I was a 7 year old girl who lost her brother to suicide and when it got dark, i turned on my cassette player and duck into my pillow, literally cried myself to sleep. Night after night. This song changed my life. I didn’t know how to out my emotions till this song crossed my path and this song learned me at a very young age that your soul can heal or break just by listening to the right song. That even when people around u have no clue what you are going through, music will fill up that void, even if it is with sadness
- This song will never get old 2023 and I'm still loving this song
