Guster – This Is How It Feels To Have A Broken Heart Lyrics 15 years ago
Correct lyrics:

It was the darkest day
I could tell from the moment you spoke my name
Said in your miserable way
Every year you come to regret it

We've colored in the lines
And followed all the signs
Fought a war til the war was over (colored in the lines)
Said you'd never be the kind with an ordinary life
Now this is how it feels to have a broken heart

Heart (x3)

Look at the mess we made
Now we stop and say what we always say
And then you make the great escape
Every year you'll come to regret it

We've colored in the lines
And followed all the signs
Fought a war til the war was over (colored in the lines)
Said you'd never be the kind with an ordinary life
Now this is how it feels to have a broken heart

And everything we have
You think that it's a trap
We fought the war now the war is over (followed all the signs)
Said you knew what you would find
Just an ordinary life
Now this is how it feels to have a broken heart

Heart (x3)






This song displays Guster's tendency to contrast melancholy lyrics with upbeat instrumentation. Two people fell in love at a young age. As the excitement and possibility of youth waned, one remained content with a day-to-day life of routine and mediocrity rooted in comfortable love. The other grew discontent and "escaped" in search of the exceptional. Blissful contentment meets mortal awareness.
