Or the bitter directions of impending goodbyes
I'm fallen and folded I'm wilted in place

At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

You got your heartbroke running from the reason

Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me
Em A D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely
A D
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost it is only mistaken

That's small consolation but I know just how you feel

You got your heartbroke running from the reason

Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me

We all have our weak side that need a softer touch

But nobody said that it wouldn't be worth it

The human condition continues as such
