The Broken Hearts

The world is full of broken hearts,
so mine was nothing new,
     and anyone who loves someone
could lose that person too.
     I thought I'd found the one for me
the day I danced with you;
     I gave my heart without reserve;
you knew I would be true.
     Alas for me, your love was false,
and so I'm feeling blue -
     although my broken heart will mend.
This feels like deja vu...
