She wants to love him
Ready to give up everything, to be there when he calls
He wants to live life
See the whole world
Love don't come easy at all

Well I've been there like you before
And I know how it feels when they walk out that door

When a heart is broken
You feel like giving up
Living like a prisoner
Convicted of love
When you know it's over
It's like a shot in the dark
Trying to find your way back to the start
When a heart is broken

He wouldn't let her hold him back
So he set off on his way
But she hoped he found the joy
He was searching for
She stayed and she cried a while
Then decided to move on
'cause she knew in life
She deserved much more

See only time can heal her pain
Lord, I pray that she won't make those mistakes again

When a heart is broken
You feel like giving up
Living like a prisoner
Convicted of love
When you know it's over
It's like a shot in the dark
Trying to find your way back to the start
When a heart is broken

We all have our separate needs
Our separate wants from life
But if you love somebody
See you both have to compromise
Try to work it out
Find a way to make things right
If you don't wanna lose in love
If you don't want a broken heart

When a heart is broken
You feel like giving up
Living like a prisoner
Convicted of love
When you know it's over
It's like a shot in the dark
Trying to find your way back to the start
When a heart is broken

When a heart is broken
You feel like giving up
Living like a prisoner
Convicted of love
When you know it's over
It's like a shot in the dark
Trying to find your way back to the start
When a heart is broken
