Where Do Broken Hearts Go

Whitney Houston · I Will Always Love You — The Best Of Whitney Houston [2012]

Oooh

I know it's been some time

But there's something on my mind

You see, I haven't been the same

Since that cold November day

We said we needed space

But all we found was an empty place

And the only things I've learned

Is that I need you desperately

So here I am, and can you please tell me, oh



[chorus]

Where do broken hearts go

Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there

And if somebody loves you

Won't they always love you

I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care for me, ooh



I've been around enough to know

That dreams don't turn to gold

And that there is no easy way

No, you just can't run away

And what we had was so much more

Than we ever had before

And no matter how I try

You're always on my mind

So here I am, and can you please tell me, oh



[chorus]



Now that I am here with you

I'll never let you go

I look into your eyes

And now I know

Now I know [2x], oh



[chorus 3x]



For me

You still care for me
