Steve Earle & the Dukes - Heartbroke

Well who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?
I'm fallen and folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing there with them streaks down your face

Heartbroke
Running from the reason that your heart broke
Don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke
You kept me from leaving with my heart broke

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

Heartbroke
Running from the reason that your heart broke
Don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke
You kept me from leaving with my heart broke

Now nobody said it was gonna be easy
We all've got our feelings that need a softer touch
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such

Heartbroke
Running from the reason that your heart broke
Don't give up on believing in me
Heartbroke
You kept me from leaving with my heart broke
Heartbroke
Heartbroke
Heartbroke
