This Is What Becomes of the Brokenhearted
Human nature
Is on a loop
Spare me a moment
To regroup
The biggest
Mistake of all -
I didn't return your call

The biggest mistake of all
My explanations stall

And if you wonder why
I write these words
I'm trying to describe
How my heart hurts
I never tried to be over-familiar
Formality strikes when we talk of the future
I couldn't wait for you

I wish I could be honest with you
And now I've already started
Commitment never seemed like a risk
But that's the way it is
I told you this could never begin
But now it's already started
This love won't go away
This is what becomes of the brokenhearted
The broken-hearted
This is what becomes of the brokenhearted

Human nature

The biggest mistake of all -

The biggest mistake of all

And if you wonder why

I'm trying to describe
How my heart hurts
I never tried to be over-familiar
Formality strikes when we talk of the future
I couldn't wait for you

I wish I could be honest with you
And now I've already started
Commitment never seemed like a risk
But that's the way it is

This could never begin, (never begin)
And now it's already started
This love won't go away
This is what becomes of the broken hearted

The broken hearted
This is what becomes of the broken hearted

Oooo the broken hearted
This is what becomes of the broken hearted
