(My Poor Heart Is Surely) Breaking

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…
