Heartbroke Lyrics

D
Who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
A D
Or the bitter directions of impending goodbyes

SOLO

D                                                     
Who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes 
       A                        D
Or the bitter directions of impending goodbyes

I'm fallen and folded I'm wilted in place 
        A                                  D
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face 
             Em             A                                         
You got your heartbroke     running from the reason 
Em               A                                   
Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me 
Em         A                                D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
D                                      
Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely 
      A                      D
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield 
                                         
But all is not lost it is only mistaken  
       A                       D
That's small consolation but I know just how you feel  
             Em             A                                         
You got your heartbroke     running from the reason 
Em               A                                   
Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me 
Em         A                                D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

SOLO

D
Well nobody said it was going to be easy 
    A                          D
We all have our weak side that need a softer  touch 
     D                                                               
But nobody said that it wouldn't be worth it 
    A                     D
The human condition continues as such
             Em             A                                         
You got your heartbroke     running from the reason 
Em                A                                   
Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me 
Em         A                                    D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

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.
