He was a hell of a drinker, not much of a boyfriend
In between jobs, it was kind of a trend
She was easy on the eye, so hard on the heart
She had her bags packed; she'd been running from the start
There was something about her, he couldn't let the chance pass
In a heartbeat that felt like an age, he gathered courage to ask
A million heartbeats later they're sat inside some pub
She doesn't know why she likes him, she says it must be love
He picks himself up off the mirror and dusts himself down again
Without a warning, he says
I don't know what you ever saw in me darling
With all the broken hearts you'll never be alone
These feelings that last for years aren't yet done
With all the broken hearts you'll never be alone
These feelings that last for years aren't yet done
You've kinda gotta wonder, how he stays wasted every night
She says he makes her feel safe, so I guess that's all alright?
But safe didn't cut it, when the past knocked at her door
With a tear and her packed bag, she was running some more
She caught a reflection of the pain as a bus passes by
She says to herself, not this time
She flies back home, takes his head in her hands and says to his face
I fucking love you. I don't get it
Coz I don't know what you ever saw in me darling
All the broken hearts
I don't know what you ever saw in me darling
Feelings that last for years
I don't know what you ever saw in me darling
All the broken hearts
I don't know what you ever saw in me darling
Feelings that last for years
I don't know
With all the broken hearts
All the broken hearts
You'll never be alone
