  • Boy 1 was famous from TV
    He carved my name into a tree
    First cut's the deepest
    And I left him bleeding

    Boy 2 had earned a law degree
    He charged me with a felony
    I stole his heart
    And pled insanity

    I know
    Nothing lasts eternal in life
    But love hurts forever

    Boy 3 worked at the cemetery
    His crooked smile was kinda sweet
    All things must end
    Now he is 6 feet deep

    Boy 4 was filthy rich indeed
    He flew a private jet but see
    He crashed and burned
    There's just no buying me

    I know
    Nothing lasts eternal in life
    But love hurts forever

    Every heart that's broken is a murder one
    Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
    Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
    'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one

    Boy 5 composed a symphony
    Strings and choir just for me
    Then he turned deaf
    It was a tragedy

    Boy 6 lived in a monastery
    He chose a life of poverty
    I chose Chanel
    So much for chastity

    I know
    Nothing lasts eternal in life
    But love hurts forever

    Every heart that's broken is a murder one
    Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
    Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
    'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one

    Every heart that's broken is a murder one
    Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
    Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
    'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one

    Boy 7 was a don of all Sicily
    He tried to kiss
    And tell on me so now he
    Sleeps with the fishes, arrivederci baby

    Last boy was a director on a silver screen
    He went and wrote a slasher flick just for me
    When he said cut
    I took it literally

    Every heart that's broken is a murder one
    Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
    Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
    'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one

    Every heart that's broken is a murder one
    Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
    Have mercy on me, now the deed is done
    'Cause every heart that's broken is a murder one
