  • The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
    And he has quite a few of them
    They know he will understand
    That's just the way it goes

    The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
    He's trying to forget other things
    Like some old chilly scenes
    He's walking through alone

    He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
    He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
    He recalls how his heart got broken
    And how it's still that way

    The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
    He can smile while he's crying inside
    We know he'll be brave tonight
    Cause he's the king of broken hearts

    He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
    He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
    He recalls how his heart got broken
    And how it's still that way

    The king of broken hearts thinks that he's no fool
    He's a little bit like me and you
    So what's a king like that supposed to do
    With all that blue time
    We know he'll be brave tonight
    Cause he's the king of broken hearts
    He's the king of broken hearts Writer/s: Jim Lauderdale
