I Never Though I’d Break (Live) Lyrics by Bernadette Peters

Sondheim Etc., Etc.

2005

[Intro]
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 snap like that
If they'd been through what I'd been through
They'd simply fall apart
Well, I'm about to start
[Verse 1]
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
And now I'm barely hanging on
[Verse 2]
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 always had the answers
You were my one mistake
Until the day I woke up
I never thought I'd break
[Verse 3]
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 always had the answers
You were my one mistake
Until the day I woke up
I thought I knew what I could take
Until that day we broke up
I never thought I'd break
