Next Heartbreak

I saw it comin' but it came down hard as a stone Laid my brother down in his grave We had one last whiskey over his bones He was a fighter but he knew he was facing the end Hope I'm as brave when it comes my time And we're gathered round the bedside again I don't wonder about it anymore Now I know how much a heart can take I count my blessings and I carry on Until the next heartbreak I hold my wife a little closer now in the dark I say a prayer for the ones I know Who make it through the night with just one heart Got through the hard times, boxed 'em up in the past Back to the living, back to sunny days But we're old enough to know it won't last I don't wonder about it anymore Now I know how much a heart can take I count my blessings and I carry on Until the next heartbreak You chop wood, carry water, should be simple enough Till you're down on your knees, looking up At the sky with a fear that you're not that tough All is quiet now, but the mind races on Reach for the bottle on the old nightstand Good times keep rolling along I don't wonder about it anymore Now I know how much a heart can take I count my blessings and I carry on I don't wonder about it anymore Now I know how much a heart can take I count my blessings and I carry on Until the next heartbreak
