lyrics

1. Broken Heart

The house we live in
The way we laugh
The sound and fury
The photograph

Your love comes in
And takes my breath away
And nothing’s really changed for me
Since that first day

And all the poetry
That I have read
And all the talking
Late at night in bed
Leads to a…

Broken heart
I’m giving you all away
I know that smile on your face
Is not for me.
But I’ll take a broken heart
I’ll take it any day
I know that love is all there is
You’re never that far away.

You read the paper
I’m on the phone
We hold hands in the car
You sing the song
Sometime I think it’s just the
Simple things
That hold our lives together
Since that first day

And all the dreaming
You and I have done
And all the victories
That we have won

Lead to a
CHORUS

I’m letting go of everything
I’m letting go of you
I’ll take a broken heart
