Heartbroke

(album: Highways And Heartaches - 1982)

Well who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of pending goodbyes?
I'm falling, I'm folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

You got your heart broke, you go running from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leaving with my heart broke

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

You got your heart broke, you go running from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leaving with my heart broke

Well nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have our weak sides that need a soft good touch.
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
But human condition continues as such

You got your heart broke, you go running from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leaving with my heart broke

You kept me from leaving with my heart broke
With my heart broke, with my heart broke
You got your heart broke
