How does one say:
Knowing that I hurt you (your feelings) is breaking my heart.
"Breaking my heart" I think I know:
胸が張り裂けています。
but the first part and how to connect the two I'm clueless about.

あなたを傷つけたと知って、胸が張り裂けそうです。 How about this one?
I think the sentence "Knowing that I hurt you " can be translated as あなたを傷つけたと知る.
I translate your sentence as あなたを傷つけたと知り、私の胸は張り裂けそうだ.

Really? If so, I must change this sentence to past form but how do we distinguish their? Apr 6, 2016 at 14:33

The verb is irregular, with all three tenses spelt the same, but parsing it as a present tense does not IMO make sense in this sentence. I'd phrase the non-past forms of 'to hurt' as that I am hurting you (present) or that I keep hurting you (present, repeated) or that I will hurt you (future).– oalsApr 6, 2016 at 14:47
I'll give a shot at my own translation for this:
あなたを傷つけたと思うと、胸が張り裂けそう。
