Lyrics

Well, who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?
I'm fallin', I'm folded, I'm welded in place
At the sight of you standin' with streaks down your face

You got your heart broke
Go runnin' from the reason
Get your heart broke
Don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin'
With my heart broke?

Well, cryin' when you're rich is a poor 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

You got your heart broke
Go runnin' from the reason
Get your heart broke
Don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin'
With my heart broke?

Instrumental break

Well, nobody said it was goin' to be easy
We all have our weak sides and need soft good touchin'
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
But human conditions can give you as such

You got your heart broke
Go runnin' from the reason
Get your heart broke
Don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin'
With my heart broke?

You kept me from leavin'
With my heart broke
With my heart broke
With my heart broke
You got your heart broke
