I Want A Broken Heart
I've got faith in the bank and money in my heart
I've got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love
I've traded naked and unashamed
For a better place to hide
For a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies

I thought the cattle on a thousand hills
Was not enough to pay my bills
And i fell in love with those who proved me wrong
And now i want a broken heart

Now there's a great pad lock
On the place where i was free
And i'm feeling bad from swallowing that key
Now i work real hard but i mostly call in sick
Of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me

I cannot look you in the eye
So i check the knots on my disguise
'cause i fell in love with fashion in the dark
And now i want a broken heart

I've got alibis for every crime
A substitute to do my time
'cause Your heart breaks enough on both our parts
And now i want a broken heart
Now i want a broken heart
Now i want a broken heart
