Born with a Broken Heart - The Divine Comedy

You cannot miss what don’t exist

You cannot break a broken heart

I’d like to tell you my story

But there’s no story to tell

'Til now my life has been boring

A list of fond farewells

I’m a ridiculous creature

I’m like a bird without wings

My heart’s in permanent winter

Yours is forever spring

You’re a truly lovely thing

But I was born with a broken heart, girl

I was born with a broken heart

I should have told you from the start, girl

I should have told you from the start

I was born with a broken heart

I look alright on the outside

I look like all of the rest

But there is always a downside

A secret to confess

I’ve tried so hard not to show it

I’ve tried so hard to be warm

But I can see that you sense it

When you are in my arms

I don’t wanna see you harmed

I was born with a broken heart, girl

I was born with a broken heart

I should have told you from the start, girl

I should have told you from the start

I was born with a broken heart

You cannot miss what don’t exist

You cannot break a broken heart

I was born with a broken heart

I should have told you from the start, girl

I should have told you from the start

But I was born with a broken heart
