I Want a Broken Heart Lyrics
(words and music by derek webb)
I've got faith in the bank and money in my heart I've got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love
I've traded naked and unashamed For a better place to hide For a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies
Chorus 1 I thought the cattle on a thousand hills Was not enough to pay my bills And I fell in love with those who proved me wrong And now I want a broken heart
Now there's a great pad lock On the place where I was free And i'm feeling bad from swallowing that key Now I work real hard but I mostly call in sick Of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me
Chorus 2 I cannot look you in the eye So I check the knots on my disguise 'cause I fell in love with fashion in the dark And now I want a broken heart
Chorus 3 I've got alibis for every crime A substitute to do my time 'cause Your heart breaks enough on both our parts So now I want a broken heart Now I want a broken heart Now I want a broken heart
