lyrics

ONCE YOU HEART GETS BROKEN (IT JUST KEEPS ON BREAKING)
words/music: bill mallonee 

It came as a whisper...yeah, it came in the night 
just as you were driving...past the neon lights 
and it was last call...surely that’s enough said 
all that once was given...turned from green to red 

CHORUS: 
One thing they don’t tell you...but, there is no mistakin’ 
once your heart gets broken, kid...it just keeps on breaking 

Another one down...3rd one this week 
reporters speculate...about toxicity 
And it was said that he trafficked...with magic potions 
Aren't we’re filling our holes? aren't we picking our poisons? 

CHORUS: 
One thing they don’t tell you...cause we're good at fakin' 
once your heart gets broken, kid 
it just keeps on breaking...it just keeps on breaking 

All the simple truths...that take you by surprise 
they come into sharp relief...in a certain slant of light 
time to drop you bags...time to pick up your key 
don’t worry tipping the bellboy...you won’t need your things 

CHORUS: 
One thing they don’t tell you...till after you’re shaken 
once your heart gets broken... 
it just keeps on breaking... 
it just keeps on breaking
