The world was on fire and no-one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. This world is only gonna break your heart No, I don't wanna fall in love This world is only gonna break your heart With you. With you This world is only gonna break your heart What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you And I don't wanna fall in love This world is only gonna break your heart No, I don't wanna fall in love. This world is only gonna break your heart With you The world was on fire, no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do. I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love This world is only gonna break your heart No, I don't wanna fall in love This world is only gonna break your heart With you This world is only gonna break your heart With you This world is only gonna break your heart No, I This world is only gonna break your heart This world is only gonna break your heart Nobody loves no one.

Despite being released as a single in , it did not become a hit until it was featured in the David Lynch film Wild at Heart. Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who loved David Lynch films, began playing the song, and it quickly became an American top-ten hit in January , reaching number six on the Billboard Hot , making it the first hit song of Isaak's career. Additionally, the single became a number-one hit in Belgium and reached the top 10 in several other nations. The song is in the key of B Dorian mode [2] performed in what AllMusic describes as a "brooding, sorrowfully conflicted" tone. Although it is often interpreted as a ballad about unrequited love , [4] [5] Isaak himself has said that the song was inspired by a telephone call from a woman seeking to arrange a casual sexual liaison and is about "what happens when you have a strong attraction to people that aren't necessarily good for you". During the sessions for Isaak's third album, many different versions and arrangements of the song were made before the final version was completed.
With his busy schedule, all of the household chores laundry, dishes, cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, bill paying, etc. He's a big boy and can make up his own mind. I have been understanding of the demands of his career for many years, but I have come to realized that I'm not happy living this way. We do have cancelled Skype dates and rescheduled phone calls but when I really need him he puts his needs aside.
