Other People's Hearts - Kirsty MacColl

I’m staying home this evening

And playing my guitar

And all the time I’m strumming

I’m wondering where you are

Oh yes I know it’s over

I know I shouldn’t care

But I can’t get away from you

It seems you’re always there

How come I don’t see you anymore?

How come we lost the magic touch?

Why can’t I pick up the telephone

When I want to call you so much?

Who’s going to make me forget you

And get you off my mind?

I could be out breaking other people’s hearts

If you weren’t still breaking mine

The winter’s drawing in again

Another year has passed

Now I think of things I meant to say

But the time went by so fast

I hear you’re living in New York these days

And you don’t come here any more

I keep asking myself so many questions

But lately I wonder what I’m wondering for

Who’s going to make me forget you

And get you off my mind?

I could be out breaking other people’s hearts

If you weren’t still breaking mine

I let you pass me by

I never tried too hard

Though you’ll never see me cry

You really made your mark

How come I don’t see you anymore?

How come we lost the magic touch?

And why can’t I pick up the telephone

When I want to hear your voice so much?

Who’s going to make me forget you

And get you off my mind?

I could be out breaking other people’s hearts

If you weren’t

If you weren’t still breaking mine
