I Never Thought I’d Break Bernadette Peters

I held up pretty well
The first few days I even tried to diet
To get my mind off you
Friends said I look like hell
They said they'd snapped like that
If they'd been through what I'd been through
They'd simply fall apart
Well I 'm about to start

I never thought I'd break
I thought I could hang on
'Til all the hurt had all run out
And I'd be fine

I guess I'm not that kind
I'm not the kind to fall apart
When lovers go away
Until today it finally hit me
You were gone now I'm barely hanging on

I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice

I've always had the answer
You were my one mistake
Until the day we broke up
I never thought I'd break
