I watched the shadows grow long
and slowly disappear
like watching ice melting into the sun
it's just gone, gone, goneI've seen the broken down sidewalks
after a hard spring rain
I've seen the steam rising up to the sun
only to fall back down againHe's got a broken heart
The tears fell like rain
I told myself I'd never feel this pain again
cryin' from a broken heartDon't turn your back on me baby
don't you run, run, run away
don't dig your heels down into my heart
and then stomp, stomp, stompI know the story's been told
the boy who cried from a broken heart
yeah he cried for what could've been
then he drove down to the shoreHe's got a broken heart
The tears fell like rain
I told myself I'd never feel this pain again
cryin' from a broken heartBroken heart
I saw her across the room
floatin' like an angel in the night
cryin' from a broken heartThis is the big water now
the dark pool that portends
It's as deep as a mountain is tall
and the sadness never endsA star's a lonely feeling
that burned out long ago
She thought she saw the sun in his smile
but it was gone, gone goneHe's got a broken heart
The tears fell like rain
I told myself I'd never feel this pain again
cryin' from a broken heartBroken heart
I saw her across the room
floatin' like an angel in the night
cryin' from a broken heart
cryin' from a broken heart
cryin' from a broken heart
