Broken Broken Broken Heart - Jeffrey Lewis

Broken broken broken heart

When will you just go away

You just hurt hurt hurt inside of me Every minute of the nite and day

And all I do is try try not to think

Not to think of anything at all

If I can keep myself from thinking for the rest of my life

Maybe I’ll survive this fall

Oh this fall fall fall

See how low I fell

From where I was when I had you

Now I’m falling in a hole and it’s dark and cold

And the only thing that I can do Is try try try try not to think

Not think of anything all nite and day

Broken broken broken heart

When will you just go away

But it breaks breaks breaks and it never stops

Though I know that somehow it has to And every time I feel that I just can’t feel worse

I find out that it isn’t true

Broken broken broken glass

Rattling inside my chest

What am I to do with every empty day?

I can’t eat and I can’t rest

And why why why does yr phone keep ringing?

And how how how does this hurt keep coming?

Every nite and every day

Oh, I was so careless

Oh, I was so stupid

To think I’d never feel this way

This way

Broken broken broken heart

When will you just be gone?

You just hurt hurt hurt inside of me And everything just feels so wrong

But thank you, thank you, thank you pain

For teaching me Thanks but it’s been more than enough

You can stop now pain

I’ll never throw away

That project that two people built called love

Because we built it and we built it but I was so cruel

I wanted to know how it ran

I kicked it just to see what it would do I was such an awful man

I wondered what would happen if I tested it Then what if I tested again

How strong is it really?

Can I step on it?

Can I leave it standing in the rain?

Can I tell it that I don’t care if it lives or dies?

Can I hate it and just wait and see?

Can I send it to the arms of another man less cruel and curious than me?

Well, just as you’re thinking I tried and tried

To make it go away and break the chain

I said I’d trade it for freedom

I’d trade it for adventure

But the only thing I got was pain

Broken broken broken heart

When will you just go away

You just hurt hurt hurt inside of me Every minute of the nite and day

And all I do is try try not to think

Not to think of anything at all

If I can keep myself from thinking for the rest of my life

Maybe I’ll survive this fall
