4 Broken Hearts Lyrics

Ooo

People can’t be hand-made
But he keeps slaving away
At a stone that’s too hard to break
A girl who’s too lost to save

So you tried to replace me
But you didn’t get far
And I tried to repay you
But I only got scarred

Ooo

She’ll be breaking your fall
And I’ll be building new walls
But this time I’ll have to make sure
To add a window for you to come back

And we tried to be faithful
But didn’t get far
Now all we’ll be left with is 4 broken hearts
I tried to erase you
But didn’t get get far... enough away from you
Because you still can break my heart

Ooo

Cover art for 4 Broken Hearts lyrics by Norah Jones

A couple breaks up. He tries to make a new relationship, and so she does too. However, they can't be faithful to their new lovers because they miss each other and so they have an affair. Their new lovers find out and end up with broken hearts, and once again they don't work out so there was two more broken hearts, and now all four people have broken hearts. It kind of reminds me of the movie "It's Complicated."
