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

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

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

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

[Guitar Solo / Steel Guitar Break]
Well you get your ... heartbroke

[Verse 3]
Well, nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have our weak side that needs a softer touch
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such
