[Verse 1: Heidi]
Boy 1 was famous from TV
He carved my name into a tree
First cut's the deepest and I left him bleeding
Boy 2 had earned a law degree
He charged me with a felony
I stole his heart and plead insanity

[Refrain: Amelle]
I know nothing lasts eternal in life
But love hurts forever

[Verse 2: Keisha]
Boy 3 worked at the cemetery
His crooked smile was kinda sweet
All things must end, now he is 6 feet deep
Boy 4 was filthy rich indeed
He flew a private jet, but see
He crashed and burned, there's just no buying me

[Refrain: Amelle]
I know nothing lasts eternal in life
But love hurts forever

[Chorus]
Every heart that's broken is a murder one
Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one
[Verse 3: Heidi]
Boy 5 composed a symphony
Strings and choir just for me
Then he turned deaf; it was a tragedy

[Verse 4: Keisha]
Boy 6 lived in a monastery
He chose a life of poverty
I chose Chanel; so much for chastity

[Refrain: Amelle]
I know nothing lasts eternal in life
But love hurts forever

[Chorus]
Every heart that's broken is a murder one
Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one
(Murder One)
Every heart that's broken is a murder one
(Murder One)
Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
(Murder One)
'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one
[Middle 8: Amelle]
Boy 7 was a Don of all Sicily
He tried to kiss and tell on me so now he
Sleeps with the fishes, arrivederci baby
Last boy was a director on a silver screen
He went and wrote a slasher flick just for me
When he said cut, I took it literally

[Chorus]
Every heart that's broken is a murder one
Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one
(Murder One)
Every heart that's broken is a murder one
(Murder One)
Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
(Smoking Gun)
Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
(Murder One)
'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one
