8.6 Days (All the Broken Hearts)

He was a hell of a drinker, not much of a boyfriend.

In between jobs, it was kind of a trend.

She was easy on the eye, so hard on the heart.

She had her bags packed; she’d been running from the start.

There was something about her, he couldn’t let the chance pass.

In a heartbeat that felt like an age, he gathered courage to ask.

A million heartbeats later they’re sat inside some pub,

She doesn’t know why she likes him, she says it must be love.

He picks himself up off the mirror and dusts himself down again,

Without a warning, he says, I don’t know what you ever saw in me darling.

With all the broken hearts you’ll never be alone,

These feelings that last for years aren’t yet done.

With all the broken hearts you’ll never be alone,

These feelings that last for years aren’t yet done.

You’ve kinda gotta wonder, how he stays wasted every night,

She says he makes her feel safe, so I guess that’s all alright?

But safe didn’t cut it, when the past knocked at her door,

With a tear and her packed bag, she was running some more.

She caught a reflection of the pain as a bus passes by.

She says to herself, not this time.

She flies back home, takes his head in her hands and says to his face;

I fucking love you. I don’t get it, coz I don’t know what you ever saw in me darling.

Coz with all the broken hearts you’ll never be alone,

These feelings that last for years, aren’t yet done.

Coz with all the broken hearts you’ll never be alone,

These feelings that last for years, aren’t yet done.
