Heartbreak

[Verse 1]

Before the night comes, before the city sleeps

I walk a lonely mile

I know you're out there, I know you're waiting

For me to make a sign

[Verse 2]

I know you'd like me to go and crumble

Reveal myself to you

I lost a wing and grew a shell on the wound

Oh, so soon

[Chorus]

And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me

Hot on my heels but I move too fast

I know you think that I would make good company

At last

[Verse 3]

You always come 'round after your good friend love

Has gone and run aground

A heart in shambles, oh well, it's just what you need

Your purpose found

[Verse 4]

You turn the lights down and draw the curtains

You put the kettle on

Come over here, sit down, tell me your troubles

We'll sing the saddest song

[Chorus]

And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me

Hot on my heels but I move too fast

I know you think that I would make good company

At last

[Verse 5]

I'm free to wander so get up off of your knees

And find some other fool

Someone to hold you when you've got no one to tease

It won't be me

[Chorus]

'Cause heartbreak, no, you can't catch me

Hot on my heels but I move too fast

I know you think that I would make good company

At last
