“I tell you this
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world.”

“Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean.”

“You break your neck, and I’ll see it mended just so I can break it again.”

“But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?”

“The only question that nobody ever asks is: What breaks your heart? I think that should be asked of all "artists."… So, what breaks your heart?”

“And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much”

“Someone can break your heart, leave you dead on the lawn, and still you never learn what to say to stop it all over again.”

“When you break someone's heart,
you also break yours.”

“It is to be broken. It is to be
torn open. It is not to be
reached and come to rest in
ever. I turn against you,
I break from you, I turn to you.
We hurt, and are hurt,
and have each other for healing.
It is healing. It is never whole.”

“Holding on to things only breaks your heart.”
