Heartbroke

Written by Guy Clark

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

When your heartbroke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing
It's me, heartbroke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke

Now pride is a dragon, they're bored 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

When your heartbroke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing
It's me, heartbroke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke

Nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a softened ouch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such

When your heartbroke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing
It's me, heartbroke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke, you got me heartbroke
