Heartbreakdown

Here's the thing about a heartbreak It will happen all your life In the morning on your wedding day In a tearful last goodbye It might find you at the station Sit beside you on the train Kiss you softly with intention Leave you breathless from the pain When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down Won't you stand your ground and start again? When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down Will you find your way somehow to love again? Lately, she's been up till sunrise Sleep is lost and can't be found It's not the water on the nightstand It's not the book she can't put down It's the echo of some bad news And the doctors whispering It's the memory of a warm embrace And the breath she's holding in When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down Won't you stand your ground and start again? When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down Will you find your way somehow to love again? When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down There's beauty in the blessed heartbreak There is life after the flood No one here has suffered through it Without courage in their blood Here's the thing about forgiveness She's the child of love and hate And recognising that you need her so Will bring peace along the way When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down Won't you stand your ground and start again? When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down Will you find your way somehow to love again? When a heart breaks down When a heart breaks down
