Heartbreakdown

Here's the thing about a heartbreak
It will happen all your life
In the morning on your wedding day
In a tearful last goodbye

It might find you at the station
Sit beside you on the train
Kiss you softly with intention
Leave you breathless from the pain

When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
Won't you stand your ground and start again?
When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
Will you find your way somehow to love again?

Lately, she's been up till sunrise
Sleep is lost and can't be found
It's not the water on the nightstand
It's not the book she can't put down

It's the echo of some bad news
And the doctors whispering
It's the memory of a warm embrace
And the breath she's holding in

When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
Won't you stand your ground and start again?
When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
Will you find your way somehow to love again?
When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down

There's beauty in the blessed heartbreak
There is life after the flood
No one here has suffered through it
Without courage in their blood

Here's the thing about forgiveness
She's the child of love and hate
And recognising that you need her so
Will bring peace along the way

When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
Won't you stand your ground and start again?
When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
Will you find your way somehow to love again?
When a heart breaks down
When a heart breaks down
