Lyrics
Now who wouldn’t notice the fire in your eyesOr the bitter direction of impending good-byesI’ve followed and folded, i’m wilted in placeAt the sight of you standing with streaks down your face
With your heart broke and running from the reasonYou got your heart broke, don’t give up on believing in meHeart broke, who kept me from leaving?With my heart broke
Now pride is a drag and a bore when you’re lonelySheer madness prevails upon reason to youBut all is not lost, it’s only mistakenThat’s small consolation but i know just how you feel
With your heart broke and running from the reasonYou got your heart broke, don’t give up on believing in meHeart broke, who kept me from leaving?With my heart broke
Nobody said it was going to be easyWe all have feelings that need a softer touchBut nobody said that it would not be worth itThe human condition continues as such
With your heart broke and running from the reasonYou’ve got your heart broke, don’t give up on believing in meHeart broke, who kept me from leaving?With my heart broke, you’ve got me heart broke
