in a big bright room

with x-rays blasting through

it took an hour or two

they had bad news

there's something with my heart

they saw it on the charts

it's weak and it's too small

always has been



got a broken heart

that's for sure

it's no metaphor



they told me to come back

to check up and keep track

of this useless piece of crap

in my chest

yeah it could stop tonight

but darling that's alright

because it's no-ones fault

and it's nothing we can do

i just want you to have my boston red sox tee



got a broken heart

oh for sure

it's no metaphor



this heart beats for you

for my friends and my family

it works so and so

but it's beating for all of you

this heart beats for you

for my darling especially

it works so and so

but it's beating because of you
