Heartbreak Girl Lyrics by Tom Cochrane

Xray Sierra

1999

She says no one understands
No one sees that point of view
Less you force them to
Less you coerce them to
Less you break their arm then it's not real
It's so hard to communicate
So hard to relate
Unless you're someone else
Unless you've not come to
Dictate... to dictate to
To tell 'em what to do
I got my own mind
I want to have some fun
I want to be in the sun
I want to be somewhere, where I can be
Who I've got to be
Got to see, got to be real
Where I'm calling from
They can't desert you
Where you're calling from
They like to eat you but they can't hurt you
Don't you know you're just like me when you hurt
Heartbreak girl it's your choice
Break outside, raise your voice
Like the book of esther where she shows her colours
And lets down her hair
Heartbreak girl if you knew and if you dare
Don't you know you're just like me when you hurt
Do the things you've got to do
All those things that come to you
When you hold your head all up and and above
And the haze falls away like defenses fall
Write a letter to yourself and
Do the things you've got to do
To no one else
Turn me upside down, you turn me upside down
You're boundless
Where I'm calling from I won't desert you
Where you're calling from they'd like to eat you
But they can't hurt you
Don't you know you're just like me when you hurt
CHORUS
Betty Page on a bad day
Deitrich's silent rage that prays
Don Juan's reckless daughter turns the page
To a celestine dumb struck other stage
It's your world all the time is on your side
Time to shrine shake the world
Heartbreak girl
Don't you know you're just like me when you hurt
Turn the world it's upside down
You turn the world it's upside down
You turn the world it's upside down
You turn me upside down
You're boundless
Betty Page on a bad day
Deitrich's silent rage that pays
Don Juan's reckless daughter turns the page
To a celestine dumb struck other stage
It's your world all the time is on your side
Time to shine shake the world
Heartbreak girl
