Rodney Crowell
Heartbroke
[Verse 1]
Ah who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?
I'm fallen and folded, oh I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

[Chorus]
Heartbroke, running from the reason
You got your heartbroke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, whoa you kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

[Verse 2]
Now, pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost, it's only mistaken
That's small consolation, but I know just how you feel

[Chorus]
You got your heartbroke and go running from the reason
You got your heartbroke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, whoa, you kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

[Pedal Steel Guitar Break]

[Verse 3]
Now, nobody said that it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a softer touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such
[Chorus]
You get your heartbroke and go running from the reason
You got your heartbroke, don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke, oh you kept me from leaving with my heart broke up
