[Verse 1]
I play the song that was our own
Your photograph's by my side
I know I can't forget you
So I don't even try

The note you left is in my hand
I read again what you say
You're sorry but you love him
And you've both gone away

[Chorus]
This is the story of a man
Whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story
That is breaking my heart

[Verse 2]
An open fire, my favorite chair
I get a book from the shelf
But the words I am reading
Could apply to myself

[Chorus]
This is the story of a man
Whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story
That is breaking my heart
[Outro]
It's the story that is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking
