Broken Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's only a simple fact A fact you simply need You can place it where you like In your personal history You can drag it all behind you And hone it 'til it's sharp You can call it your wall of China Or your favorite work of art But I like you far better with a broken heart [Verse 2] I will let the secret loose I have watched you long before Forging a common truce In that childish teasing war The girl next door whose fun Was phony false alarms But you were so very young And our dreams were worlds apart I like you far better with a broken heart [Verse 3] And carefully peeling apples Biting close down to the core Collecting all the feelings Of closing all the doors That saucy little smile Tucked behind a scarf Throwing casual glances To upset the apple cart I like you far better with a broken heart [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] The water poured so careful Before the pitcher fell You never even winced And I would never tell That you edged it off the table Like something to discard Then collected all the pieces Your renaissance to start Still I like you far better with a broken heart [Outro] Got a brand new broken heart now, babe It's a far, far better thing I said, how does it feel?
