Breaking Hearts (ain't What It Used To Be) Lyrics - Breaking Hearts - Elton John

They used to say that boys are tough as nails 

In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail 

Now things have changed, I feel so old 

Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals 

I was always there in the thick of things 

I always had the heart of every woman on a string 

The danger zone shone from my eyes 

It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile 

It's not the night reaching in and touching me 

It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be 

It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me 

And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be

It's not the light shining in and catching me 

It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be 

But time has come and cast a spell on me 

And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be 

And now I know what lonely means 

I used to give so little and gain everything 

The darkest part of every day 

Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away 

Can't say I blame them all for being hurt 

After all I treated each and every one like dirt 

Who wants a heart that's never home 

I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone 

It's not the night reaching in and touching me 

It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be 

It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me 

And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be 

It's not the light shining in and catching me 

It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be 

But time has come and cast a spell on me 

And breaking hearts, breaking hearts, breaking hearts 

Breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
