Broken Heart Lyrics

I never really had a broken heart
I always played it kinda close to my chest
Love for me's just been a walk in the park
It doesn't really matter
It never really mattered

I never really had a broken heart
It’s always such a shock to me
What looks to me like people going through the motions
but when it’s over their hearts are broken.
I’m fine on the shelf
She really loved him, I couldn't see it though
He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no
I'm fine on the shelf
She really loved him, I couldn't see it though
He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

Freedom from love
Freedom from the heartache

I never really had a broken heart
You don't believe me, just look at my chest
The way some people like to run and hide
I never really, really
I never really

I never really had a broken heart
I've never really ever been undone
It's just playing house
If two can do it, you can do it too

I'm fine on the shelf
She really loved him, I couldn't see it though
He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no
I'm fine on the shelf
She really loved him, I couldn't see it though
He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

I never really had a broken heart
I always played it kinda close to my chest
Love for me's just been a walk in the park
It doesn't really matter
It never really mattered

Freedom from love
Freedom from the heartache

I never really had a broken heart
You don't believe me, just look at my chest
The way some people like to run and hide
I never really, really
I never really

I never really had a broken heart
I've never really ever been undone
It's just playing house
If two can do it, you can do it too

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.

I love Dr. Dog's fascination with the self-marginalized - the Shadow People, the lonesome, the willfully alone, etc. Makes me rethink some of my life choices. Maybe you should too, before Dr. Dog's songs are about YOU.
