作曲 : Elton John | |

Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John | |
They used to say that boys are tough as nails | |
In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail | |
Now things have changed, I feel so old | |
Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals | |
I was always there in the thick of things | |
I always had the heart of every woman on a string | |
The danger zone shone from my eyes | |
It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile | |
It's not the night reaching in and touching me | |
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be | |
It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me | |
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be | |
It's not the light shining in and catching me | |
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be | |
But time has come and cast a spell on me | |
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be | |
And now I know what lonely means | |
I used to give so little and gain everything | |
The darkest part of every day | |
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away | |
Can't say I blame them all for being hurt | |
After all I treated each and every one like dirt | |
Who wants a heart that's never home | |
I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone |
