The King of Broken Hearts

The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends

And he has quite a few of them

They know he will understand

That's just the way it goes

The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king

He's tryin' to forget other things

Like some old ship at sea, he's walkin' through life alone

He talks to angels and the stars start to spin

He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in

He recalls how his heart got broken

And how it's still that way

The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise

He can smile while he's cryin' inside

We know he'll be brave tonight 'cause he's the king of broken hearts

The king of broken hearts thinks that he's no fool

He's a little like me and you

So what's a king like that supposed to do with all that blue time

We know he'll be brave tonight

'Cause he's the king of broken hearts

He's the king of broken hearts.
