i want a broken heart

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

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

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

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
