sometimes i feel like i'll never get over you
sometimes i feel like i just don't want to
we had the beat, the beat on a sweet song
til the party was over, and i'm still holding on

how long can you carry a broken heart?

sometimes i feel like i might be losing you
like time is moving on and i just don't want it to
we got what we got, and that's all she wrote
but i've got a way of dragging out that final note

how long can you carry a broken heart
before you feel ready for some new start
how long can you carry a broken heart, a broken heart
how long can you carry a broken heart
before it weighs you down and breaks your arms
how long can you carry a broken heart, a broken heart

all the king's horses, all the king's men
couldn't put the kingdom together again
their hands couldn't fix what time will mend
hands can't fix what time will mend

how wide is the river, frozen cold
how long until these are the days of old
how long can you carry what you just can't hold
you just can't hold
