Now who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of impending good-byes
I've followed and folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face
With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke
Now pride is a drag and a bore when you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to you
But all is not lost, it's only mistaken
That's small consolation but I know just how you feel
With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke , who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke
Nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a softer touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such
With your heart broke and running from the reason
You've got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
