Land Of Broken Hearts

The smell of coffee, the morning paper
We don't talk much anymore
We left our lives in the kitchen
As you walked out the door

But I've spent too many nights, cried too many tears
But I will love again, 'cause
Nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts
Nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts

There's unpaid bills and friends and family
People we both know
You've said it with your silence
That I had to go

But I've spent too many nights, cried too many tears
But I will love again, because
Nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts
Nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts

I wish I could run my fingers through your hair
I wish there was someway I could keep you here

The smell of whiskey on my pillow
I want to hold you again
I miss you as a lover
I miss you as a friend

But I'll spend those many nights crying too many tears
But I will love again
Nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts
Nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts
No, nothing lasts forever in the land of broken hearts
