Okkervil River - Happy Hearts lyrics
[Okkervil River - Happy Hearts lyrics]
Why must happy hearts break so hard?
Leave you curled up in the back seat of a car
Staring up at the windshield
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
This boy I knew was five years older than me
His daddy left him when he was three
After we went walking by a stream
He held me down and made me feel as bad as he
Why must happy hearts break so hard?
Leave you standing in the
Darkness of the barn
Staring at those rusty wheels
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
And everybody is searching for a
Place to put their love
See the people on the street, they go home
And what do you think they dream of?
Unconditional love why did you leave me?
Mother, oh, why do you sleep with him?
He says he is smothering
Then he comes back again
In our house for the weekend
Why must people is breaking hearts pretend?
Why must happy hearts break so hard?
Leave you staring in the mirror of a bar
Leave you talking to yourself
Because you cannot talk to anybody else
Leave you curled up in the back seat of a car
Staring up at the windshield
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
This boy I knew was five years older than me
His daddy left him when he was three
After we went walking by a stream
He held me down and made me feel as bad as he
Why must happy hearts break so hard?
Leave you standing in the
Darkness of the barn
Staring at those rusty wheels
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
And everybody is searching for a
Place to put their love
See the people on the street, they go home
And what do you think they dream of?
Unconditional love why did you leave me?
Mother, oh, why do you sleep with him?
He says he is smothering
Then he comes back again
In our house for the weekend
Why must people is breaking hearts pretend?
Why must happy hearts break so hard?
Leave you staring in the mirror of a bar
Leave you talking to yourself
Because you cannot talk to anybody else
