The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends And he has quite a few of them They know he'll understand That's just the way it goes The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king He's trying to forget other things Like some old chilly scene He's walking through alone He talks to angels and the stars start to spin He thinks of trouble that he's gotten in He recalls how his heart got broken And how it's still that way The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise He can smile while he's crying inside We know he'll be brave tonight He's the king of broken hearts He talks to angels and the stars start to spin He thinks of trouble that he's gotten in He recalls how his heart got broken And how it's still that way The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool He's a little bit like me and you So what's a king like that supposed to do With all that blue time We know he'll be brave tonight Cause he's the king of broken hearts The king of broken hearts The king of broken hearts
