Heartbroke

(Guy Clark)



Well, who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes

Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?

I'm fallin', I'm folded, I'm wilted in place

At the sight of you standin' with streaks down your face.



Chorus:

You got your heartbroke, go runnin' from the reason

Got your heartbroke, don't give up on believin' in me

Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heartbroke.



Well, pride when you're rich is a bore if 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:

You got your heartbroke, go runnin' from the reason

Got your heartbroke, don't give up on believin' in me

Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heartbroke.

Well, nobody said it was goin' to be easy

We all have our weak sides that need a soft good touch.

But nobody said that it would not be worth it

The human condition continues as such.



Chorus:

You got your heartbroke, go runnin' from the reason

Got your heartbroke, don't give up on believin' in me

Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heartbroke.



With my heartbroke, with my heartbroke

You got your heartbroke...
