[00:00.80]Why must happy hearts break so hard,
[00:09.66]leave you curled up in the back seat of a car,
[00:16.46]staring up at the windshield?
[00:24.30]When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
[00:31.85]This boy I knew was five years older than me.
[00:40.34]His daddy’d left him when he was three.
[00:47.42]After we went walking by a stream,
[00:55.04]he held me down and made me feel as bad as he.
[01:02.86]Why must happy hearts break so hard,
[01:11.59]leave you standing in the darkness of the barn,
[01:19.38]staring at those rusty wheels?
[01:26.28]When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
[02:05.31]And everybody’s searching for a place to put their love.
[02:12.46]See the people on the street?
[02:15.03]They go home and what do you think they dream of?
[02:20.20]Unconditional love.
[02:28.02]Why did you leave me?
[02:42.73]Mother, why do you sleep with him?
[02:50.50]He says he’s smothering,
[02:53.25]then he comes back again,
[02:58.73]in our house for the weekend.
[03:05.45]Why must people’s breaking hearts pretend?
[03:13.18]Why must happy hearts break so hard,
[03:21.92]leave you staring in the mirror at a bar?
[03:29.49]Leave you talking to yourself,
[03:36.02]because you can’t talk to anybody
