Once you told me you would love me
like no-one before
once I took you to my heart
we believed to be two of a kind
I loved you more and more
no longer we could live apart

You break my heart like china
I never demanded anything of you
you break my heart like china
was this too much of a strain for you?

But ever since these early days
you began to lose your happy face
gradually you turned away from me
as time passed by no longer you
didn't want to lie to me
you never reached the top with me

You break my heart like china
cant'see the reason
why you wanted to leave
you break my heart like china
look at your own demands
that you can't meet

you said to me: "It always
had been the same before
but now I can't bear it no more."
you say you've got so high demands
your love is way too strong
you believe you'd better go

You break my heart like china
don't tell me this is because of me
you break my heart like china
I ask you don't try that on me
you break my heart like china
don't tell me of the men you meet
you break my heart like china
but you won't bring me to my knees
