Happy Hearts

[Intro]

Why must happy hearts break so hard?

Leave you curled up in the back seat of a car

Staring up at the windshield

When will broken hearts learn how to heal?

[Verse 1]

This boy I knew was five years older than me

His daddy left him when he was three

After we went walking by a stream

He held me down and made me feel as bad as he

[Refrain]

Why must happy hearts break so hard?

Leave you standing in the darkness of the barn

Staring at those rusty wheels

When will broken hearts learn how to heal?

[Bridge]

And everybody's searching for a place to put their love

See the people on the street, they go home, and what do you think they dream of?

U-n-c-o-n-d-i-t-i-o-n-a-l l-o-v-e

Why did you leave me?

[Verse 2]

Mother, oh, why do you sleep with him?

He says he's smothering, then he comes back again

In our house for the weekend

Why must people's breaking hearts pretend?

[Outro]

Why must happy hearts break so hard?

Leave you staring in the mirror of the bar

Leave you talking to yourself

'Cause you cannot talk to anybody else
