Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart

  • Every time I stare into the sun
    Trying to find a reason to go on
    All I ever get is burned and blind
    Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

    When you came along the time was right
    Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
    Wasn't very long you took a bite
    And did me wrong, and it serves me right

    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again, again

    Every little key unlocks the door
    Every little secret has a lie
    Tryna take a picture of the sun
    And it won't help you to see the light

    Every little word upon your lips
    Makes a little cut where blood pours out
    Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
    Not for anything

    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again
    Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
    In broken little pieces and you know I need this
    Like a hole in the head

    Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
    In broken little pieces and you know I need this
    Like a hole in the head

    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again

    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again

    Here we go round again
    Here we go round again
    Here we go round again Writer/s: Chris Cornell
