For My Broken Heart

There were no angry words at all

As we carried boxes down the hall

One by one, we put them in your car

Nothing much for us to say

One last goodbye and you drove away

I watched your taillights

As they faded in the dark

I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed

So I laid down on the couch instead

Last night, I prayed the Lord my soul to keep

Then I cried myself to sleep

So sure life wouldn't go on without you

But oh, this sun is blinding me

As it wakes me from the dark

I guess the world didn't stop

For my broken heart

Clock's still ticking, life goes on

Radio still plays a song

As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place

And it takes all the strength I've got

To stumble to the coffee pot

The first of many lonely mornings I have to face

You call to see if I'm okay

I look out the window and I just say

Last night, I prayed the Lord my soul to keep

And then I cried myself to sleep

So sure life wouldn't go on without you

Lord, this sun is blinding me

As it wakes me from the dark

I guess the world didn't stop

For my broken heart

Oh, I guess the world ain't gonna stop

For my broken heart
