Broken Eyes Lyrics

Hey there girl with the broken eyes, ain't my love been true
Ain't no need to act surprised when it comes back to you
When it comes back to you

The wind blows high and the wind blows low, as long as I have known
Everything that blows away, soon is gonna come back home
Soon is gonna come back home

Standing there in your raven hair, acting like you don't know
Lips that launched a thousand ships, that's where my money goes
Where my money goes

I know they say I'll rue the day, I gave you a peice of my heart
It's do re mi, and dust to dust, things all fall apart
Things all fall apart

Hey there girl with the broken eyes, ain't my love been true
Ain't no need to act surprised when it comes back to you
When it comes back to you

The wind blows high and the wind blows low, as long as I have known
Everything that blows away, soon is gonna come back home
Soon is gonna come back home
Soon is gonna come back home
Soon is gonna come back home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

on the album, the line "things all fall apart" is "soon we all must part".. im not sure if a live version is different. adam is known to have varying lyrics for the same song. Can't wait for The Bloom and The Blight Sept 4th!

It reminds me of an old country ditty...I think it's about being out on the road, but wanting to be faithful that the relationship is going to last. It's the feeling when your in a relationship and you think it'll never end no matter where and with whom you're with, that person is always with you. He knows he'll be back home eventually, and even though he might regret these feelings in the future, this is his ode to his beautiful maiden.
