When Your Heart Is Broken

When your heart is broken you can't love anymore
They can push or pull or stay but you can't open the door
They can say "hold my hand and I will be forever yours"
But such sweet words are wasted on a heart already sore

When your heart is broken you find solace in the day
You focus on your work to chase such gloomy thoughts away
You don't care whether it's worth it, you don't care what people say
Keep going through the motions, in the end you'll have your pay

When your heart is broken you will come to dread the night
The darkness sinks its claws on you, it's something you can't fight
While others see a rainbow, all those colors glowing bright
No matter how you squint, what you will see is black and white

The stalwart one, that's who I was, that brave soldier of love
Whoever I set my sights on, I gave all, expected none
Still I was spurned one time too many, my heart stepped upon
And now I've burned myself out, my love's going going gone!

I can have a boyfriend now if I really wanted to
I could've had somebody, in my bed there's room for two
But none can make me stir again, not anyone, not you
My heart has been petrified and there's nothing I can do

I used to think that a broken heart is when you cry like a waterfall
It's crawling back to him on all fours, his name all that you call
But I have traveled far and wide and I learned that I was wrong
'Cause when your heart is really broken you'll feel nothing, nothing at all
