It's time we mended This old and broken fence Maybe it'll keep you From coming back again With calloused and cold hands We worked, and run out of sun Again in the morning I squint as I wake amidst the dawn I guess this is why they said The broken heart's the worst I guess this is why they said The broken heart The broken heart's the worst I'm told there's a reason Why some things last and some things don't I try to see but I'm freezing I didn't think this feeling would last this long You're just a memory Of a far and distant time I'm blinded by headlights A trail lit by that yellow highway line I guess this is why they said The broken heart's the worst I guess this is why they said The broken heart The broken heart's the worst Arms stretched farther The green light glows and we believe Bury all the failures Bury and all we can achieve And I'll fix this without you Upend dead ground below Put up a new fence And throw away all I once was told I guess this is why they said The broken heart's the worst I guess this is why they said The broken heart The broken heart's the worst
