about

heartbreak

lyrics

Better to have never loved than to have lost
Better to have kept my soul Better to have kept my heart
Better to have never known and I’m better when I tell myself I never knew you at all
I wish I never loved you cause I cannot rise above you
Now the bad times have the good outweighed
and the lessons I’ve learned aren’t worth the price I paid
Broken heart
Broken home
Broken dreams
Broken soul
Better to have never loved than to have lost
Better to have kept my soul Better to have kept my heart
Better to have lived alone and I’m better when I tell myself I never knew you at all
I’ve learned to shut down my eyes
cause everything I see is a constant reminder
I’ve learned to shut down my ears
cause I feel your soul in every song I hear
I’ve learned to pray
I’ve learned to say goodbye a hundred times a day
When will I get it through my head
Only fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Broken heart
Broken home
Broken dreams
Broken soul
Down again there goes my soul
Where it stops nobody knows
