Empty Handed, Broken Hearted

 

 

Empty handed broken hearted

Never seen so many tears

I am stranded where I started

Where do I go from here?

Empty handed, broken hearted

Here comes another lonely night

Comes morning and I’ll be standing

Broken hearted and empty handed

 

If love is a song never sing along

If you don’t understand the music

If love is a game you’re a fool to play

If you can’t afford to lose it

If love is a key then take it from me

You’d better learn how to use it

‘Cause I ought to know

I understand

I’ve been there and here I am

 

You’ll never find any peace of mind

If you fool around with trouble

‘Cause one mistake is all it takes

For love to get lost on the double

I never knew there were so many rules

You just can’t be too careful

You play with fire you’re gonna get burned

But fools like me just never seem to learn
