Where Broken Hearts Go



I know where broken hearts go.
Not down an alley or a hall.
It's a bed where our tears begin to flow.
The feeling of getting lost in our
Thoughts. You keep calling out our names
It's only been an hour.

We’re stuck inside the closet,
Scared to go outside
You have so much love you can’t deposit
Our hearts never really heal, place our feelings aside
Where do broken hearts go?
Keep asking, and you’ll never know.
You see, you glow.

Outside these four walls, keep it together
You’ll never fall down this low but you fall in love so easily.
I strive to please, but these thoughts aren’t getting better.
I forgot what I learned from my mother
They say I’m all yellow
But maybe it was just mellow

So where do broken hearts go?
Maybe it’s different for you.
One day we all will glow.
But for now, we’re blue.
