lyrics

Queen of Broken Hearts

the stars are hanging low
the lights are shinning thru from my window
i'm sleeping here alone
i know you're not alone, are you?

you know i miss your face
but i can't recall at all what you look like
i met you back in june
underneath the moon and the satellites

everybody knows you played the part
you're just another girl with a broken heart
who can't be alone

the change outside reminds
i'm running out of time and money
and if i can't get to you
there's nothing i can do about it honey

i heard you found another boy
that didn’t take you very long
i hope he treats you really good
keeps you out of these songs
why didn’t you call and let me know?
so i could let you go
or at least right it down

everybody knows you played the part
you're just another girl with a broken heart
everybody knows you played the part
yeah you are the queen of broken hearts

and if i can't make you stay
i'm gonna drink 'til it's ok
then ill call you on the phone
would you please just drive me home?

'cause everybody knows you played the part
just another girl with a broken heart
everybody knows you played the part
yeah, you are the queen of broken hearts...
