Lauren Taylor Degen - When Your Heart Gets Broke

Spend more time talkin' honest with God
Stay up too late staring at the clock
Minutes move slower, wish you could fast forward
You'd do anything to make the pain stop

Read old messages over coffee
Question where the whole thing went wrong
Another day without a single answer
Another playlist of sad songs

All you can do to get up out of bed in the morning is take it one step at a time
And fake it through a day full of distraction
Force a smile til you're at home and can break down and cry
And no one can hear your tears cuz you go to bed alone
But that's what you do when your heart gets broke

Some days the hurt is paralyzing
Others you are floating on cloud nine
When you recognize a part of yourself before you knew him
It's a breakthrough like a butterfly

Just when you think you're doing better
Signs of him cross your every path
Like an addict in remission, lose all your inhibition
Reminded of the love you may never get back

You hear he's doing well so you try to do the same with someone new after last call
And when you kiss a stranger you can't pretend like you felt anything at all
But you still tell all your friends so they think you're moving on
Truth is you ain't even close
But that's just what you do when your heart gets broke

You keep waiting for that phone call you'll probably never get
Where he says he's sorry and he's coming home again
Pick up every single penny you see lying in the road
Cuz even though you have no reason to hope
That's what you do when your heart gets broke
Cuz that's just what you do when your heart gets broke
