Heartbroke
[Verse 1]
Now who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes
I've followed and folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

[Chorus]
When your heartbroke and running from the reason
You got your heartbroke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, oh who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke?

[Mandolin and Fiddle Break]

[Verse 2]
Now pride is a drag and a bore when you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost, it's only mistaken
That's small consolation, but I know just how you feel

[Chorus]
When your heartbroke and running from the reason
You got your heartbroke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, oh who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke?

[Fiddle and Mandolin Break]
[Verse 3]
Nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a soft good touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such

[Chorus]
With your heartbroke and running from the reason
You got your heartbroke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, oh who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke?
You got me heartbroke
