Lyrics

Crazy Heart

[Verse 1]

You thought she'd care for you, and so you acted smart

Go on and break, you crazy heart

You lived on promises I knew would fall apart

Go on and break, you crazy heart

[Verse 2]

You never would admit you were mistaken

You didn't even know the chances you were takin'

I knew you couldn't win, I told you from the start

Go on and break, you crazy heart

[Steel Guitar Solo]

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]

I knew you'd wake up and find her missin'

I tried my best to warn you, but you wouldn't listen

You told me I was wrong, you thought that you were smart

Go on and break, you crazy heart
