I am slowly dying of a broken heart A broken heart that you have given me I can't stop my crying once the teardrops start I know that you're in love in love but not with me If you take a little rose tear the petals it will cry Protect that little rosebud and the rose will never die I am slowly dying of a broken heart A broken heart that you have given me I am slowly dying of a broken heart A broken heart is all that's left of me If you were only trying to mend my broken heart I could dry these tears these tears of misery I know my days are numbered I count them one by one My soul within me is slowly dying all hope of love is gone I am slowly dying of a broken heart A broken heart that you have given me
