Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?
I'm falling, I'm folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face
[Verse 2]
You got your heartbroke
And go running from the reason
Get your heartbroke
Don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke
Who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke?
[Verse 3]
Well, crying when you're rich is a bore if you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost, it is only mistaken
A small consolation, but I know just how you feel
[Verse 4]
You got your heartbroke
Go running from the reason
Got your heartbroke
Don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke
Who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke?
[Verse 5]
Well, nobody said it was goin' to be easy
We all have our weak sides that need a soft, good touchin'
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human conditions continue as such
[Verse 6]
You got your heartbroke
Go running from the reason
Got your heartbroke
Don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke
Well, who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke?
You kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
[Verse 7]
With my heartbroke
With my heartbroke
You got your heartbroke
