You Must Have Had A Broken Heart

Westlife · Back Home [2007]

The way you say the things you do

The softness of the words you choose

The times that you can read my mind

And take my worries out of sight



Your fingers touching on my lips

And say a kiss is still a kiss

And when you look at me I see

I see the pain that you had to feel



You must've had a broken heart, to love me the way do

Must've been so torn apart, I can see it when I look at you

All the meaning that is in your eyes, the love you give will never die

And I knew right from the start, you must've had a broken heart



You seem to have that certain smile

I can't forget after a while

The day you walked into the room

At once I knew the hurt that you'd been through



Sometimes when its late at night and I see your face in the fire light

Showing all the love you have for me, well I love you as much



Sometimes, sometimes

Must've had a broken heart

Yeah

All the meaning that is in your eyes, the love u give will never die

And I knew right from the start, you must've had a broken heart

Sometimes.....
