Permanent Broken Heart

Eels · Broken Toy Shop [1993]

i walked by your window

to see if you're home

the candle was burning

i could see you weren't alone

i shouldn't have gone by

but what could i do

i've never known anyone

who was quite like you



life ain't very easy when you've got

a permanent broken heart



i walk down the dirty street

and see the old man

but now he seems different

i think i understand

well maybe he had a love

and swore it was true

but then he blew it away

just like i lost you



life ain't very easy when you've got

a permanent broken heart



i'm looking out my window

there's not much of a view

and my hat is still quite blue



maybe i'll move away

to some other town

and maybe i'll find that thing

i've never found
