Morning Paper

Heart, oh, heart I know it's ended.



--- Instrumental ---



I see you made the morning paper

The story was on the social page

I read the notice of your wedding

And I saw his picture in my place.



I turned the pages of the paper

Trying to hide my foolish pride

I read the funnies with a heartache

The funnies were so funny that I cried.



Turning the pages I pretended

That you'd still belong to me

Heart, oh heart, I know it's ended

And I must face reality.



I tore your picture from the paper

With every right up I could find

I destroyed the morning paper

'Cause it destroyed this heart of mine.



Heart, oh heart, I know it's ended

The morning paper told us all...
