Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong and it serves me right
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Try to take a picture of the sun
It won't help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood
A kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces
And you know I need this like a hole in the head
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces
And you know I need this like a hole
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
