Did Your Heart Break Too
Did Your Heart Break Too?
-is a quiet country ballad about two people who parted without anger or blame when life simply led them down different roads. Years later, he still remembers how much he enjoyed her company and wonders whether she sometimes remembers him the same way. Not a song about wanting her back, but about the affection that can remain long after goodbye—and one unanswered question: did your heart break too?

Lyrics
There wasn't any thunder, no angry last goodbye
No suitcase down the staircase, no reason left to lie
We just came to a crossing where one road turned to two
And I watched you take the other one, like people sometimes do
I remember how you laughed at things that weren't that funny
How a quiet Sunday morning never needed any money
We could sit there saying nothing, and somehow that would do
I don't spend my days regretting us
But I still remember you
Did your heart break too when you left me?
Or did I see a faint smile on your face?
Do you still think of me like I think of you
When an old memory falls into place?
I don't want to turn you from the road you're walking
And I wouldn't ask you to come back through
I just wonder, when the night gets quiet
Did your heart break too?
The boat of our life sank with both of us in it
Maybe neither one of us ever learned to swim
Maybe we're standing on rocks beneath the water
Keeping our heads above the surface, hanging on again
From here you might be sailing on some calm and distant sea
And maybe from where you're standing, you'd say the same of me
Funny how somebody can look fine from far away
While they're standing neck-deep in yesterday
Did your heart break too when you left me?
Or did I see a faint smile on your face?
Do you still think of me like I think of you
When an old memory falls into place?
I don't want to turn you from the road you're walking
And I wouldn't ask you to come back through
I just wonder, when the night gets quiet
Did your heart break too?
Sometimes I miss your company more than I miss your touch
Those little conversations that never amounted to much
The way you'd look across the room and I'd know what you meant
It's strange the smallest moments are the hardest ones to forget
I hope somebody makes you laugh the way you used to then
I hope the road was kind to you around each unfamiliar bend
And if you found the place you needed, I'm glad you made it through
There's just one question now and then
I wish I could ask you
Maybe love doesn't always end
Sometimes it just can't stay
Sometimes two hearts can still be fond
And still go separate ways
There doesn't have to be a villain
There doesn't have to be a fool
Sometimes life just changes direction
Before either heart is through
So did your heart break too when you left me?
Was that a smile, or were you fighting back a tear?
Do you ever almost say my name
Like I've almost said yours all these years?
No, I don't want to turn you from the road you're walking
And I hope every mile's been good to you
But if you sometimes miss my company
Then maybe your heart broke too
We came to a crossing
And one road turned to two
I kept walking down mine
Still remembering you
And somewhere beyond the distance
Maybe you remember me too.
