WHERE BROKEN HEARTS GO

WHERE BROKEN HEARTS GO

There's a place so very close yet so far away.

There's a place that any of us could travel to on any given day.

There's a place that no one talks about but we all know.

It's not a place we choose, it's a place where broken hearts go.

There's a place full of doubts and fears.

There's a place that is flooded with lovers tears.

When someone you love leaves you for another and you feel so low.

There's a place that's a blink of an eye away, where broken hearts go.

There's a place that is full of emotional pain.

There's a place where there is always rain.

You think everything is going good, and you have your ducks in a row.

Then while you’re flying high, you get shot down, so you go where broken hearts go.

There's a place that is so deep into the darkness that it is pitch black.

There's a place that when you get too far in, you might never come back.

When you love someone so deeply, but are afraid to let it show.

It will get to be too late and you will be on your way to where broken hearts go.

There's a place that can weigh very heavy on your soul.

There's a place where, if you're there too long, it can take an eternal toll.

When you take your lover for granted, you will reap what you sow.

You may not know it, but you're on your way to the place where broken hearts go.

There's a place full of memories of things you should have done.

You think if you had done something different you would still be the one.

There's a place, even though it was yesterday it seems like so long ago.

No matter how hard you try not to, you're going to where broken hearts go.

There's a place where you can't tell what's up or what's down.

There's a place where the voice of your lost lover is the only sound.

There's a place where a minute seems to last forever, where time goes so slow.

You may try to leave, but some people never leave this place where broken hearts go.

There's a place filled with sadness and despair.

There's a place where only love can get you out of there.

There's a place where you may go to and fro.

So if you've ever been in love, I'm sure you've been to where broken hearts go.
